Abstract: Let XN=(X1N,dots,XdN) be a d-tuple of NimesN independent GUE random matrices and ZNM be any family of deterministic matrices in mathbbMN(mathbbC)otimesmathbbMM(mathbbC). Let P be a self-adjoint non-commutative polynomial. A seminal work of Voiculescu shows that the empirical measure of the eigenvalues of P(XN) converges towards a deterministic measure defined thanks to free probability theory. Let now f be a smooth function, the main technical result of this paper is a precise bound of the difference between the expectation of frac{1}{MN} ext{Tr}left( f(P(X^Notimes I_M,Z^{NM})) ight) and its limit when N goes to infinity. If f is six times differentiable, we show that it is bounded by M2leftVertfightVertmathcalC6N−2. As a corollary we obtain a new proof of a result of Haagerup and Thorbjo rnsen, later developed by Male, which gives sufficient conditions for the operator norm of a polynomial evaluated in (XN,ZNM,ZNM∗) to converge almost surely towards its free limit. Restricting ourselves to polynomials in independent GUE matrices, we give concentration estimates on the largest eingenvalue of these polynomials around their free limit. A direct consequence of these inequalities is that there exists some such that for any and varepsilon2<1/4, almost surely for N large enough, -frac{1}{N^{varepsilon_1}} leq | P(X^N)| - leftVert P(x) ightVert leq frac{1}{N^{varepsilon_2}}. Finally if XN and YMN are independent and MN=o(N1/3), then almost surely, the norm of any polynomial in (XNotimesIMN,INotimesYMN) converges almost surely towards its free limit. This result is an improvement of a Theorem of Pisier, who was himself using estimates from Haagerup and Thorbjo rnsen, where MN had size o(N1/4).
