Abstract

We consider an N × N random symmetric Toeplitz matrix with an i.i.d. input sequence drawn from a distribution that lies in the domain of attraction of an α-stable law for 0 < α< 2. We show that under an appropriate scaling, its empirical eigenvalue distribution, as N → ∞, converges weakly to a random symmetric probability distribution on ℝ, which can be described as the expected spectral measure of a certain random unbounded self-adjoint operator on ℓ2(ℤ). The limiting distribution turns out to be almost surely subgaussian. Furthermore, the support of the limiting distribution is bounded almost surely if 0<α<1 and is unbounded almost surely if 1≤ α<2.
