| A universality result for the smallest eigenvalues of certain sample covariance matrices (2008) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| After proper rescaling and under some technical assumptions, the smallest eigenvalue of a sample covariance matrix with aspect ratio bounded away from 1 converges to the Tracy--Widom distribution. This complements the results on the largest eigenvalue, due to Soshnikov and Peche.. Comment: 53 pages, 7 figures. To appear in Geom. Funct. Anal | |||||||||
