Spectral properties of Random Matrices

We give the theoretical foundations of random matrix theory through the definitions of a random matrix, a random probability measure and the corresponding empirical spectral distribution. The technical tool we use is the Stieltjes transform method through which we prove optimal convergence of the empirical spectral distribution of random sample covariance matrices to the deterministic Marchenko-Pastur distribution. We also give new results about the rigidity of the eigenvalues of this random sample covariance matrix and the rate of their convergence. We then define the Dyson equation method to prove new local laws about a random matrix model that interpolates between the Marchenko-Pastur distribution, the elliptical law and the circular law. Through our work these local laws can be considered universal.

Local Marchenko-Pastur law at the hard edge of the Sample Covariance ensemble

Consider an $N$ by $N$ matrix $X$ of complex entries with iid real and imaginary parts. We show that the local density of eigenvalues of $X^*X$ converges to the Marchenko-Pastur law on the optimal scale with probability $1$. We also obtain rigidity of the eigenvalues in the bulk and near both hard and soft edges. Here we avoid logarithmic and polynomial corrections by working directly with high powers of expectation of the Stieltjes transforms. We work under the assumption that the entries have a finite 4th moment and are truncated at $N^{1/4}$. In this work we simplify and adapt the methods from prior papers of Götze-Tikhomirov and Cacciapuoti-Maltsev-Schlein to covariance matrices.
