Description

The statistical properties of the largest eigenvalue of a random matrix are of interest in diverse fields ranging from disordered systems to statistical data analysis and even to string theory. In this talk I'll discuss some recent developements on the theory of extremely rare fluctuations of the largest eigenvalue and its various applications.
