We perturb this matrix by adding a random finite rank matrix, with delocalized eigenvectors. We show that the joint law of the extreme eigenvalues of the perturbed model satisfies a large deviation principle in the scale $n$, with a good rate function given by a variational formula. We tackle both cases when the extreme eigenvalues of $X_n$ converge to the edges of the support of the limiting measure and when we allow some eigenvalues of $X_n$, that we call outliers, to converge out of the bulk. We can also generalise our results to the case when $X_n$ is random, with law proportional to $e^{- n Trace V(X)}\\ud X,$ for $V$ growing fast enough at infinity and any perturbation of finite rank.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2011-06-19T06:24:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "extreme eigenvalues", "random deformations", "real diagonal deterministic matrix", "random finite rank matrix", "large deviation principle" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 44, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1009.0135B" } } }
