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 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 prove rates of convergence for the circular law for the complex Ginibre ensemble. Specifically, we bound the expected $L_p$-Wasserstein distance between the empirical spectral measure of the normalized complex Ginibre ensemble and the uniform measure on the unit disc, both in expectation and almost surely. For $1 le p le 2$, the bounds are of the order $n^{-1/4}$, up to logarithmic factors.
For a fixed quadratic polynomial $mathfrak{p}$ in $n$ non-commuting variables, and $n$ independent $Ntimes N$ complex Ginibre matrices $X_1^N,dots, X_n^N$, we establish the convergence of the empirical spectral distribution of $P^N =mathfrak{p}(X_1^N,dots, X_n^N)$ to the Brown measure of $mathfrak{p}$ evaluated at $n$ freely independent circular elements $c_1,dots, c_n$ in a non-commutative probability space. The main step of the proof is to obtain quantitative control on the pseudospectrum of $P^N$. Via the well-known linearization trick this hinges on anti-concentration properties for certain matrix-valued random walks, which we find can fail for structural reasons of a different nature from the arithmetic obstructions that were illuminated in works on the Littlewood--Offord problem for discrete scalar random walks.
Let $sqrt{N}+lambda_{max}$ be the largest real eigenvalue of a random $Ntimes N$ matrix with independent $N(0,1)$ entries (the `real Ginibre matrix). We study the large deviations behaviour of the limiting $Nrightarrow infty$ distribution $P[lambda_{max}<t]$ of the shifted maximal real eigenvalue $lambda_{max}$. In particular, we prove that the right tail of this distribution is Gaussian: for $t>0$, [ P[lambda_{max}<t]=1-frac{1}{4}mbox{erfc}(t)+Oleft(e^{-2t^2}right). ] This is a rigorous confirmation of the corresponding result of Forrester and Nagao. We also prove that the left tail is exponential: for $t<0$, [ P[lambda_{max}<t]= e^{frac{1}{2sqrt{2pi}}zetaleft(frac{3}{2}right)t+O(1)}, ] where $zeta$ is the Riemann zeta-function. Our results have implications for interacting particle systems. The edge scaling limit of the law of real eigenvalues for the real Ginibre ensemble is a rescaling of a fixed time distribution of annihilating Brownian motions (ABMs) with the step initial condition. Therefore, the tail behaviour of the distribution of $X_s^{(max)}$ - the position of the rightmost annihilating particle at fixed time $s>0$ - can be read off from the corresponding answers for $lambda_{max}$ using $X_s^{(max)}stackrel{D}{=} sqrt{4s}lambda_{max}$.
We consider the bond percolation problem on a transient weighted graph induced by the excursion sets of the Gaussian free field on the corresponding cable system. Owing to the continuity of this setup and the strong Markov property of the field on the one hand, and the links with potential theory for the associated diffusion on the other, we rigorously determine the behavior of various key quantities related to the (near-)critical regime for this model. In particular, our results apply in case the base graph is the three-dimensional cubic lattice. They unveil the values of the associated critical exponents, which are explicit but not mean-field and consistent with predictions from scaling theory below the upper-critical dimension.
