Abstract: We study the asymptotic behavior of the appropriately scaled and possibly perturbed spectral measure mu of large random real symmetric matrices with heavy tailed entries. Specifically, consider the N by N symmetric matrix YNsigma whose (i,j) entry is sigma(i/N,j/N)Xij where (Xij,0<i<j+1<infty) is an infinite array of i.i.d real variables with common distribution in the domain of attraction of an alpha-stable law, 0<alpha<2, and sigma is a deterministic function. For a random diagonal DN independent of YNsigma and with appropriate rescaling aN, we prove that the distribution mu of aN1YNsigma+DN converges in mean towards a limiting probability measure which we characterize. As a special case, we derive and analyze the almost sure limiting spectral density for empirical covariance matrices with heavy tailed entries.
