Abstract: The classical infinite divisibility of distributions related to eigenvalues of some random matrix ensembles is investigated. It is proved that the $$-Tracy-Widom distribution, which is the limiting distribution of the largest eigenvalue of a $$-Hermite ensemble, is not infinitely divisible. Furthermore, for each fixed $Nge2$ it is proved that the largest eigenvalue of a GOE/GUE random matrix is not infinitely divisible.
