“…In different directions of generalization, sparse matrices [ 1 , 32 , 47 , 56 ], adjacency matrices of regular graphs [ 14 ] and band matrices [ 19 , 20 , 66 ] have also been considered. In parallel developments bulk and edge universal statistics have been proven for invariant -ensembles [ 12 , 15 , 17 , 18 , 29 , 30 , 52 , 61 , 62 , 64 , 65 , 73 ] and even for their discrete analogues [ 13 , 16 , 41 , 48 ] but often with very different methods.…”
