Abstract: The top eigenvalues of rank $r$ spiked real Wishart matrices and additively perturbed Gaussian orthogonal ensembles are known to exhibit a phase transition in the large size limit. We show that they have limiting distributions for near-critical perturbations, fully resolving the conjecture of Baik, Ben Arous and P'{e}ch'{e} [Duke Math. J. (2006) 133 205-235]. The starting point is a new $(2r+1)$-diagonal form that is algebraically natural to the problem; for both models it converges to a certain random Schr"{o}dinger operator on the half-line with $rimesr$ matrix-valued potential. The perturbation determines the boundary condition and the low-lying eigenvalues describe the limit, jointly as the perturbation varies in a fixed subspace. We treat the real, complex and quaternion ($$) cases simultaneously. We further characterize the limit laws in terms of a diffusion related to Dyson's Brownian motion, or alternatively a linear parabolic PDE; here $$ appears simply as a parameter. At $$, the PDE appears to reconcile with known Painlev'{e} formulas for these $r$-parameter deformations of the GUE Tracy-Widom law.
