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 podiu …

What do we actually know about logarithmic energy ?
In potential theory, the $\textit{logarithmic energy}$ of a Radon measure $\mu$ acting on $\mathbb{C}$ is defined by
$$I(\mu)=\iint\log\frac{1}{|x-y|}\mu(dx)\mu(dy).$$ Of course it is not well define …

Extracting particles from a determinantal point process
Consider $N$ real random particles $x_1,\cdots, x_N$ distributed according to a density $\rho(x_1,\ldots,x_N)$ with respect to the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb R^N$, which is assumed to be invariant u …

Eigenvalue densities of sample covariance matrices when the population covariance matrix is ...
You can rewrite

where $X_{.j}\sim \mathcal{N}(\boldsymbol 0, \boldsymbol I)$. It is then classical that the limiting eigenvalue distribution of $S$ (in the …

A generalization of the Sanov Theorem
Let $(X_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of i.i.d random variables with law $\mu$. The Sanov Theorem then states that the empirical measures
$$
\mu^N =\frac{1}{N} \sum _{n=1}^N\delta _{X_n}

Why only three classical matrix ensembles in random matrix theory?
These three ensembles are hermitian matrices over a (finite dimensional real) field of numbers, and it is known that the only finite dimensional real fields are the real numbers, the complex numbers ( …

Classical convolution VS Free Convolution
We denote $\varphi:\mathbb R^2\rightarrow\mathbb R$ the addition of real numbers, and $\varphi_*:M_1(\mathbb R^2)\rightarrow M_1(\mathbb R)$ the induced push-forward map (where $M_1(\Delta)$ stands fo …

A sufficient condition for a probability measure to have compact support
Consider a probability measure $\mu$ on, let's say, $\mathbb R$.
Is there a necessary and sufficient condition so that $\mu$ has compact support $Supp(\mu)$ ?
I agree this question is too vague, an …

Estimating the probability that one Poisson RV is larger than another
By simple computations : The definition of the modified Bessel function of the first kind yields

I_k(\lambda)=\sum_{n\geq 0}\frac{1}{n!(n+k)!}\left(\frac{\lambda}{2}\right)^{2n+k}
$$

Compact sets of the complex plane having the K-property ?
I would like to have a better understanding of a notion I've met in the beautiful book of Nikishin and Sorokin "Rational approximation and Orthogonality", since they do not provide examples.

Wiener Measure measure on functions?
It seems that what you are looking for is the notion of "abstract Wiener space", which provides a rigorous setting for putting a white noise on various spaces of functions. Long story short, you defin …

Countably many random vectors and related problems.
Yes, you can define properly the first expectation,
see e.g. PlanetMath
Then you have with your notations
$$
\mathbb E_{X_i : i\in\mathbb N}\int_{[0,1]^k}\inf_{i\in\mathbb N}\|X_i-y\|^2dy\leq \math …

Semicircle law universality elsewhere
If you accept non-commutative random variables as "other random processes $(X_1,\ldots,X_n)$" then, as Jon Bannon's comment suggests, free probability could provide interesting examples [and I don't t …

Characteristic polynomials of certain random symmetric matrices and the complexity of rando...
Just an heuristic answer:
The joint eigenvalue distribution of a GOE random matrix is given by
$$
\frac{1}{Z_n}\prod_{i<j}|x_i-x_j|\prod_{i=1}^ne^{-x_i^2/2}dx_i.
$$
Thus, $E_{GOE}(|\det(y+A)|e^{-x(tr …

Product rules are local and covariance identities are global
I understand that you consider a "parametrized" identity on a space of differentiable functions

\mathcal{L}_{a,b}(f,g)=\[f-a\]\[g-b\]+a\[g-b\]+b\[f-a\]-fg+ab=0
