We relate the joint eigenvalue distribution of this matrix to the Jacobi matrix ensemble and establish the universal behavior of eigenvalues for large N. The limiting local behavior of eigenvalues is governed by the sine kernel in the bulk and by either the Bessel or the Airy kernel at the edge depending on parameters. We also study an exceptional case when the local behavior of eigenvalues of P_N + Q_N is not universal in the usual sense.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-05-04T15:56:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random projections", "local behavior", "by-n random orthogonal projections", "joint eigenvalue distribution", "usual sense" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Statistical Physics", "year": 2012, "month": "Oct", "volume": 149, "number": 2, "pages": 246 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012JSP...149..246K" } } }
