Eigenvalues of Hermite and Laguerre ensembles: Large Beta Asymptotics
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we examine the zero and first order eigenvalue fluctuations for the β-Hermite and β-Laguerre ensembles, using the matrix models we described in [5], in the limit as β → ∞. We find that the fluctuations are described by Gaussians of variance O(1/β), centered at the roots of a corresponding Hermite (Laguerre) polynomial. We also show that the approximation is very good, even for small values of β, by plotting exact level densities versus sum of Gaussians approximations.

Small deviations for beta ensembles
We establish various small deviation inequalities for the extremal (soft edge) eigenvalues in the β-Hermite and β-Laguerre ensembles. In both settings, upper bounds on the variance of the largest eigenvalue of the anticipated order follow immediately.
متن کاملApproximation of Rectangular Beta-Laguerre Ensembles and Large Deviations
Let λ1, · · · , λn be random eigenvalues coming from the beta-Laguerre ensemble with parameter p, which is a generalization of the real, complex and quaternion Wishart matrices of parameter (n, p). In the case that the sample size n is much smaller than the dimension of the population distribution p, a common situation in modern data, we approximate the beta-Laguerre ensemble by a beta-Hermite ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Correlations for Gaussian and Wishart Matrices with External Source
We consider ensembles of Gaussian (Hermite) and Wishart (Laguerre) N ×N hermitian matrices. We study the effect of finite rank perturbations of these ensembles by a source term. The rank r of the perturbation corresponds to the number of non-null eigenvalues of the source matrix. In the perturbed ensembles, the correlation functions can be written in terms of kernels. We show that for all N , t...
متن کاملUniform approximation of eigenvalues in Laguerre and Hermite beta-ensembles by roots of orthogonal polynomials
We derive strong uniform approximations for the eigenvalues in general Laguerre and Hermite β-ensembles by showing that the maximal discrepancy between the suitably scaled eigenvalues and roots of orthogonal polynomials converges almost surely to zero when the dimension converges to infinity. We also provide estimates of the rate of convergence. In the special case of a normalized real Wishart ...
