It is proved that the $\\beta$-Tracy-Widom distribution, which is the limiting distribution of the largest eigenvalue of a $\\beta$-Hermite ensemble, is not infinitely divisible. Furthermore, for each fixed $N \\ge 2$ it is proved that the largest eigenvalue of a GOE/GUE random matrix is not infinitely divisible.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-01-12T15:10:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "tracy-widom distribution", "infinitely divisible", "largest eigenvalue", "goe/gue random matrix", "random matrix ensembles" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160102898D" } } }
