This is a brief survey of classical and recent results about the typical behavior of eigenvalues of large random matrices, written for mathematicians and others who study and use matrices but may not be accustomed to thinking about randomness.

We consider the real eigenvalues of an $(N times N)$ real elliptic Ginibre matrix whose entries are correlated through a non-Hermiticity parameter $tau_Nin [0,1]$. In the almost-Hermitian regime where $1-tau_N=Theta(N^{-1})$, we obtain the large-$N$ expansion of the mean and the variance of the number of the real eigenvalues. Furthermore, we derive the limiting empirical distributions of the real eigenvalues, which interpolate the Wigner semicircle law and the uniform distribution, the restriction of the elliptic law on the real axis. Our proofs are based on the skew-orthogonal polynomial representation of the correlation kernel due to Forrester and Nagao.
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 study the statistics of the largest eigenvalues of $p times p$ sample covariance matrices $Sigma_{p,n} = M_{p,n}M_{p,n}^{*}$ when the entries of the $p times n$ matrix $M_{p,n}$ are sparse and have a distribution with tail $t^{-alpha}$, $alpha>0$. On average the number of nonzero entries of $M_{p,n}$ is of order $n^{mu+1}$, $0 leq mu leq 1$. We prove that in the large $n$ limit, the largest eigenvalues are Poissonian if $alpha<2(1+mu^{{-1}})$ and converge to a constant in the case $alpha>2(1+mu^{{-1}})$. We also extend the results of Benaych-Georges and Peche [7] in the Hermitian case, removing restrictions on the number of nonzero entries of the matrix.
In this paper, we study random matrix models which are obtained as a non-commutative polynomial in random matrix variables of two kinds: (a) a first kind which have a discrete spectrum in the limit, (b) a second kind which have a joint limiting distribution in Voiculescus sense and are globally rotationally invariant. We assume that each monomial constituting this polynomial contains at least one variable of type (a), and show that this random matrix model has a set of eigenvalues that almost surely converges to a deterministic set of numbers that is either finite or accumulating to only zero in the large dimension limit. For this purpose we define a framework (cyclic monotone independence) for analyzing discrete spectra and develop the moment method for the eigenvalues of compact (and in particular Schatten class) operators. We give several explicit calculations of discrete eigenvalues of our model.
The eigenvalues for the minors of real symmetric ($beta=1$) and complex Hermitian ($beta=2$) Wigner matrices form the Wigner corner process, which is a multilevel interlacing particle system. In this paper, we study the microscopic scaling limit of the Wigner corner process both near the spectral edge and in the bulk, and prove they are universal. We show: (i) Near the spectral edge, the corner process exhibit a decoupling phenomenon, as first observed in [24]. Individual extreme particles have Tracy-Widom$_{beta}$ distribution; the spacings between the extremal particles on adjacent levels converge to independent Gamma distributions in a much smaller scale. (ii) In the bulk, the microscopic scaling limit of the Wigner corner process is given by the bead process for general Sine$_beta$ process, as constructed recently in [34].
