We study the distribution of the outliers in the spectrum of finite rank deformations of Wigner random matrices. We assume that the matrix entries have finite fourth moment and extend the results by Capitaine, Donati-Martin, and Féral for perturbations whose eigenvectors are delocalized.

This work is concerned with finite range bounds on the variance of individual eigenvalues of Wigner random matrices, in the bulk and at the edge of the spectrum, as well as for some intermediate eigenvalues. Relying on the GUE example, which needs to be investigated first, the main bounds are extended to families of Hermitian Wigner matrices by means of the Tao and Vu Four Moment Theorem and recent localization results by Erdös, Yau and Yin. The case of real Wigner matrices is obtained from interlacing formulas. As an application, bounds on the expected 2-Wasserstein distance between the empirical spectral measure and the semicircle law are derived. Similar results are available for random covariance matrices.

This article reviews some of the important results in the study of the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of Wigner random matrices, that is. random Hermitian (or real symmetric) matrices with iid entries. It first provides an overview of the Wigner matrices, introduced in the 1950s by Wigner as a very simple model of random matrices to approximate generic self-adjoint operators. It then considers the global properties of the spectrum of Wigner matrices, focusing on convergence to the semicircle law, fluctuations around the semicircle law, deviations and concentration properties, and the delocalization of the eigenvectors. It also describes local properties in the bulk and at the edge before concluding with a brief analysis of the known universality results showing how much the behaviour of the spectrum is insensitive to the distribution of the entries.
