@article{1881, abstract = {We consider random matrices of the form H=W+λV, λ∈ℝ+, where W is a real symmetric or complex Hermitian Wigner matrix of size N and V is a real bounded diagonal random matrix of size N with i.i.d.\ entries that are independent of W. We assume subexponential decay for the matrix entries of W and we choose λ∼1, so that the eigenvalues of W and λV are typically of the same order. Further, we assume that the density of the entries of V is supported on a single interval and is convex near the edges of its support. In this paper we prove that there is λ+∈ℝ+ such that the largest eigenvalues of H are in the limit of large N determined by the order statistics of V for λ>λ+. In particular, the largest eigenvalue of H has a Weibull distribution in the limit N→∞ if λ>λ+. Moreover, for N sufficiently large, we show that the eigenvectors associated to the largest eigenvalues are partially localized for λ>λ+, while they are completely delocalized for λ<λ+. Similar results hold for the lowest eigenvalues. }, author = {Lee, Jioon and Schnelli, Kevin}, journal = {Probability Theory and Related Fields}, number = {1-2}, pages = {165 -- 241}, publisher = {Springer}, title = {{Extremal eigenvalues and eigenvectors of deformed Wigner matrices}}, doi = {10.1007/s00440-014-0610-8}, volume = {164}, year = {2016}, }
