We consider the empirical eigenvalue distribution of an $mtimes m$ principal submatrix of an $ntimes n$ random unitary matrix distributed according to Haar measure. For $n$ and $m$ large with $frac{m}{n}=alpha$, the empirical spectral measure is well-approximated by a deterministic measure $mu_alpha$ supported on the unit disc. In earlier work, we showed that for fixed $n$ and $m$, the bounded-Lipschitz distance between the empirical spectral measure and the corresponding $mu_alpha$ is typically of order $sqrt{frac{log(m)}{m}}$ or smaller. In this paper, we consider eigenvalues on a microscopic scale, proving concentration inequalities for the eigenvalue counting function and for individual bulk eigenvalues.
We consider the empirical eigenvalue distribution of an $mtimes m$ principle submatrix of an $ntimes n$ random unitary matrix distributed according to Haar measure. Earlier work of Petz and Reffy identified the limiting spectral measure if $frac{m}{n}toalpha$, as $ntoinfty$; under suitable scaling, the family ${mu_alpha}_{alphain(0,1)}$ of limiting measures interpolates between uniform measure on the unit disc (for small $alpha$) and uniform measure on the unit circle (as $alphato1$). In this note, we prove an explicit concentration inequality which shows that for fixed $n$ and $m$, the bounded-Lipschitz distance between the empirical spectral measure and the corresponding $mu_alpha$ is typically of order $sqrt{frac{log(m)}{m}}$ or smaller. The approach is via the theory of two-dimensional Coulomb gases and makes use of a new Coulomb transport inequality due to Chafai, Hardy, and Maida.
We consider the sum of two large Hermitian matrices $A$ and $B$ with a Haar unitary conjugation bringing them into a general relative position. We prove that the eigenvalue density on the scale slightly above the local eigenvalue spacing is asymptotically given by the free convolution of the laws of $A$ and $B$ as the dimension of the matrix increases. This implies optimal rigidity of the eigenvalues and optimal rate of convergence in Voiculescus theorem. Our previous works [3,4] established these results in the bulk spectrum, the current paper completely settles the problem at the spectral edges provided they have the typical square-root behavior. The key element of our proof is to compensate the deterioration of the stability of the subordination equations by sharp error estimates that properly account for the local density near the edge. Our results also hold if the Haar unitary matrix is replaced by the Haar orthogonal matrix.
Let $O(2n+ell)$ be the group of orthogonal matrices of size $left(2n+ellright)times left(2n+ellright)$ equipped with the probability distribution given by normalized Haar measure. We study the probability begin{equation*} p_{2n}^{left(ellright)} = mathbb{P}left[M_{2n} , mbox{has no real eigenvalues}right], end{equation*} where $M_{2n}$ is the $2ntimes 2n$ left top minor of a $(2n+ell)times(2n+ell)$ orthogonal matrix. We prove that this probability is given in terms of a determinant identity minus a weighted Hankel matrix of size $ntimes n$ that depends on the truncation parameter $ell$. For $ell=1$ the matrix coincides with the Hilbert matrix and we prove begin{equation*} p_{2n}^{left(1right)} sim n^{-3/8}, mbox{ when }n to infty. end{equation*} We also discuss connections of the above to the persistence probability for random Kac polynomials.
In this note, we show that the Lyapunov exponents of mixed products of random truncated Haar unitary and complex Ginibre matrices are asymptotically given by equally spaced `picket-fence statistics. We discuss how these statistics should originate from the connection between random matrix products and multiplicative Brownian motion on $operatorname{GL}_n(mathbb{C})$, analogous to the connection between discrete random walks and ordinary Brownian motion. Our methods are based on contour integral formulas for products of classical matrix ensembles from integrable probability.
We extend the random characteristics approach to Wigner matrices whose entries are not required to have a normal distribution. As an application, we give a simple and fully dynamical proof of the weak local semicircle law in the bulk.
