Abstract

We consider the deformed Gaussian ensemble \(H_{n}=H_{n}^{(0)}+M_{n}\) in which \(H_{n}^{(0)}\) is a hermitian matrix (possibly random) and M n is the Gaussian unitary random matrix (GUE) independent of \(H_{n}^{(0)}\). Assuming that the Normalized Counting Measure of \(H_{n}^{(0)}\) converges weakly (in probability if random) to a non-random measure N (0) with a bounded support and assuming some conditions on the convergence rate, we prove the universality of the local eigenvalue statistics near the edge of the limiting spectrum of H n .
