Finite Rank Perturbations of Heavy-Tailed Wigner Matrices (2208.02756v1)

Published 4 Aug 2022 in math.PR

Abstract: One-rank perturbations of Wigner matrices have been closely studied: let $P=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}A+\theta vvT$ with $A=(a_{ij}){1 \leq i,j \leq n} \in \mathbb{R}{n \times n}$ symmetric, $(a{ij}){1 \leq i \leq j \leq n}$ i.i.d. with centered standard normal distributions, and $\theta>0, v \in \mathbb{S}{n-1}.$ It is well known $\lambda_1(P),$ the largest eigenvalue of $P,$ has a phase transition at $\theta_0=1:$ when $\theta \leq 1,$ $\lambda_1(P) \xrightarrow[]{a.s.} 2,$ whereas for $\theta> 1,$ $\lambda_1(P) \xrightarrow[]{a.s.} \theta+\theta{-1}.$ Under more general conditions, the limiting behavior of $\lambda_1(P),$ appropriately normalized, has also been established: it is normal if $||v||{\infty}=o(1),$ or the convolution of the law of $a_{11}$ and a Gaussian distribution if $v$ is concentrated on one entry. These convergences require a finite fourth moment, and this paper considers situations violating this condition. For symmetric distributions $a_{11},$ heavy-tailed with index $\alpha \in (0,4),$ the fluctuations are shown to be universal and dependent on $\theta$ but not on $v,$ whereas a subfamily of the edge case $\alpha=4$ displays features of both the light- and heavy-tailed regimes: two limiting laws emerge and depend on whether $v$ is localized, each presenting a continuous phase transition at $\theta_0=1, \theta_0 \in [1,\frac{128}{89}],$ respectively. These results build on our previous which analyzes the asymptotic behavior of $\lambda_1(\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}A)$ in the aforementioned subfamily.
