Spectral density of symmetrized Haar matrix
Let $O$ be a random orthogonal matrix (according to Haar measure) of size $n$. I found by simulations that the spectral density of $O+O^\top$ is the arcsin law rescaled to the interval $[-2,2]$. I can'...

What is known about the density of states for the Anderson Model?
The Anderson Model is given by the random Hamiltonian (as an operator on $l^2(\mathbb{Z}^d)$)
$$
H_\omega = - \triangle + V(\omega)
$$
where $V(\omega) \mid x \rangle = \omega(x) \mid x \rangle$ ...

References for reasoning about the spectrum of a convex body?
By "spectrum of a convex body", I mean: start with a convex body $B$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, then consider the corresponding $d \times d$ covariance matrix resulting from a uniform distribution over $B$ -- ...

Bounds on the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix of a sub-Gaussian vector
Suppose that $\boldsymbol{x}\in\mathbb{R}^n$ is subgaussian random vector of variance proxy $\sigma^2$, i.e.,
$$\forall \boldsymbol{\alpha}\in\mathbb{R}^n: \quad \quad \mathbb{E}\left[ \exp\right(\...
