First\, how much can their eigenvalues fluctuate? It is known that the eigenvalues of such matrices behave as repelling particles\, trapping them near deterministic locations. We provide optimal estimates for this “rigidity” phenomenon. Se cond\, what is the behavior of the maximum of the characteristic polynomia l? This is motivated by a conjecture of Fyodorov–Hiary–Keating on the maxi ma of logarithmically correlated fields\, and we will present the first re sults on this question for Wigner matrices.\n\n  \n\n Zoom link: https://umo ntreal.zoom.us/j/84070804466?pwd=QWZpMDJwc29pOGVBWTJISFJOSGlEUT09\n (Note t he link is different this week!)\n\n  \n \n \n \n\n DTSTART:20231110T150000Z DTEND:20231110T160000Z LOCATION:Room 1214\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Patrick Lopatto (Brown University) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/patrick-lopatto-brown-uni versity-352511 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
