Distribution of dot product of two unit random vectors
Consider $\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v}\in \mathcal{C}^M$ to be two independent unit norm random vectors on the $M-1$ dimensional complex sphere $\mathcal{S}^{M-1}$. In addition, $\mathbf{u}$ follows an ...

When should we expect Tracy-Widom?
The Tracy-Widom law describes, among other things, the fluctuations of maximal eigenvalues of many random large matrix models. Because of its universal character, it obtained his position on the ...

Reference request: results on the asymptotic distribution of singular values related to a random orthogonal matrix
Let $Q$ be a random variable taking as its values the set of $n \times k$ real matrices with orthogonal columns, and whose distribution is the Haar measure on the Stiefel manifold $O(n)/O(n-k)$. This ...

Characterizations of the GOE/GUE family of distributions
This question is somewhat related to this one. Loosely speaking, when should I expect a GOE/GUE distribution? The angle of my approach to this is not through statements such as "there is a natural ...

Eigenvalues of Hadamard product of two Wishart-type matrices
Given two independent Gaussian matrices with i.i.d. entries: $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times p}$ and $B\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times q}$, where and $A_{i,j},B_{i,j}\sim\mathcal{N}(0,1)$. Assume that $\max(p,q)<n....

Diagonalizability of Gaussian random matrices
Let $X$ be an $n\times n$ matrix whose elements are i.i.d. sampled from a normal distribution of zero mean and unit variance. Is $X$ diagonalizable over $\mathbb{C}$ with probability 1? Is there a ...

Tracy Widom type results for asymptotic distribution of the $k$-th largest eigenvalue of the sample covariance when $n, p \to \infty$?
Earlier I asked a question: Distribution of the $k$-th largest eigenvalue of in the sample covariance matrix?, but I forgot to mention that I'd like results for asymtotic regime. So, I'm posting here ...
