abstract

We determine to leading order the maximum of the characteristic polynomial for Wigner matrices and $\beta$-ensembles. In the special case of Gaussian-divisible Wigner matrices, our method provides universality of the maximum up to tightness. These are the first universal results on the Fyodorov--Hiary--Keating conjectures for these models, and in particular answer the question of optimal rigidity for the spectrum of Wigner matrices. Our proofs combine dynamical techniques for universality of eigenvalue statistics with ideas surrounding the maxima of log-correlated fields and Gaussian multiplicative chaos.

    math.PR 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For 2D Coulomb gases with temperature beta between 1/N and 1/(sqrt(N) log N), the microscopic point process converges to a homogeneous Poisson point process with intensity equal to the equilibrium measure density.

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    High-energy CFT and black-hole interval counts are conjectured to obey the FHK extreme-value law; the resulting O(1) erratic fluctuations limit semiclassical AdS precision to e^{-S0}.
