"Extreme Eigenvalues of Random Matrices"

Abstract

The statistical properties of the extreme (maximum/minimum)  
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 developments  
on the theory of extremely rare fluctuations of the largest  
eigenvalue and its various applications.
