ABSTRACT
The topic of this paper is the typical behavior of the spectral measures of large random matrices drawn from several ensembles of interest, including in particular matrices drawn from Haar measure on the classical Lie groups, random compressions of random Hermitian matrices, and the so-called random sum of two independent random matrices. In each case, we estimate the expected Wasserstein distance from the empirical spectral measure to a deterministic reference measure, and prove a concentration result for that distance. As a consequence we obtain almost sure convergence of the empirical spectral measures in all cases.

It is observed that the existence of an attracting set in the class of solutions to the stochastic Lagrangian variational principle leads to a natural problem of convergence of diffusions in the Carlen class. It is then shown how dynamical properties enable one to prove some convergence results...

We show that every orbital measure, ${\mu }_{x}$, on a compact exceptional Lie group or algebra has the property that for every positive integer either ${ \mu }_{x}^{k} \in {L}^{2}$ and the support of ${ \mu }_{x}^{k}$ has non-empty interior, or ${ \mu }_{x}^{k}$ is singular to Haar measure...
