Abstract

Consider a n×n matrix from the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE). Given a finite collection of bounded disjoint real Borel sets i,n, 1≤ i≤ p) with positive distance from one another, eventually included in any neighbourhood of the support of Wigner's semi-circle law and properly rescaled (with respective lengths n-1 in the bulk and n-2/3 around the edges), we prove that the related counting measures Νni,n), (1≤ i≤ p), where Νn(Δ) represents the number of eigenvalues within Δ, are asymptotically independent as the size n goes to infinity, p being fixed. As a consequence, we prove that the largest and smallest eigenvalues, properly centered and rescaled, are asymptotically independent; we finally describe the fluctuations of the ratio of the extreme eigenvalues of a matrix from the GUE.
