We construct the subset W' of W such that the corresponding sum diverges in the limit of large n and the number of moments proportional to n^{2/3} for any truncation of the order n^{1/6+epsilon}, epsilon>0 provided the probability distribution of the matrix elements is such that its twelfth moment does not exist. This allows us to put forward a hypothesis that the finiteness of the twelfth moment represents the necessary condition for the universal upper bound of the high moments of large Wigner random matrices.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-05-19T11:05:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "15A52" ], "keywords": [ "large wigner random matrices", "twelfth moment", "truncated wigner nxn random matrices", "divergence", "study high moments" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1005.3231K" } } }
