The simplest example is that the second cumulant of a probability distribution must always be nonnegative, and is zero only if all of the higher cumulants are zero.

Thus Professor Soshnikov showed that the Tracy-Widom distribution is universal for all Wigner ensembles.
, Professor Soshnikov studied random matrices in the Wigner ensemble, which means matrices whose entries are independent random variables with some given distribution.
He shows that, in a suitably scaled large-martrix limit, the distribution and correlations of the largest eigenvalues do not depend on the distribution of each single matrix entry.

 Catalan number
The Catalan numbers occur in a simple expression for the moments of the Wigner semicircle distribution, which is important in free probability theory and the theory of random matrices.
The conjunction of these two facts may be used in a proof by mathematical induction that all of the free cumulants of degree more than 2 of the Wigner semicircle law are zero.
This follows from the fact that every Dyck word w of length ≥ 2 can be written in a unique way in the form

 SPECTRAL STATISTICS OF LEVY MATRICES
For Random matrix ensembles where all matrix elements are chosen from a Levy Distribution we studied the level density of states and find a crossover between Wigner semicircle law and a density with singularities at the center of the band typical of Sparse Random Matrices.
A salient feature of the level velocity distribution found is the asymmetry between statistics along the field axis and that of the energy axis.
The spectrum of the system and the \Delta_3 statistic are computed for site energy distributions of the `Levy' type, which have algebraic tails towards either large or small energy values.

Wigner (of the Wigner Semicircle Law) surmised that the local nearest neighbor distribution, on small intervals normalized to have density 1, would be $Axe^{-Bx^2}$, with constants chosen so as to set the integral and the mean to 1.
Thus the moments of the semicircle $\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{4-x^2}$ and the moments of the mean eigenvalue distribution are both equal to 0 if k is odd and the Catalan numbers if k is even, so since a function is completely determined by its moments, the eigenvalue distribution must be semicircular.
Note that the proof of the spacings distribution relied crucially on the normal distribution: with any other distribution it would not be possible to write $P(-\theta, \theta)$ as a determinant and integrate out the odd terms.

 Processing and Modeling, part 2
Although STFT-based time-frequency distribution is acceptable for an analysis of the localized behaviour of frequencies associated with reflection events, such windowed transforms are restrictive in that when the frequency-fluctuations are highly localized and varying with time, the time-frequency distributions are not reliable.
Windowing or smoothing WV distribution reduces the influence of the cross-terms, although it is not an ideal answer.
The distribution of energy density in the time-frequency representation is generally called time-frequency distribution.

This paper presents the application of the Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD) to the spectral analysis of the voltage and current systems at the terminals of an inverter-fed induction motor.
The results show that the spectral analysis, based on the WVD in conjunction with suitable windows, may be used to determine the occurrence and severity of motor faults.
The spectral- leakage problem is studied and the attention is focused on the effect of windowing.

It has been shown previously that the Wigner-Ville distribution may be applied to the analysis in the time-frequency domain of experimentally-measured time domain averages of the vibration of gears in industrial and helicopter gearboxes, in order to detect early signs of impending mechanical failure.
The effect of the weighting function on the time-frequency distribution is discussed and it is shown that the level of the interference terms, the production of aliasing errors and the repetition terms in the weighted Wigner-Ville distribution are significantly reduced.
A digital computer program implementing the discrete weighted Wigner-Ville distribution is described and its performance is demonstrated by the analysis in the time-frequency domain of a series of numerically-generated test signals.

 On universality of the smoothed eigenvalue density of large random matrices
The same expression is derived in [ 8 ] for a random matrix ensemble with the entries that are independent random variables, whose probability distribution is a convolution of the Gaussian distribution and the arbitrary one.
Regarding the global regime, the resolvent approach developed in [ 9, 10 ] is proved to be rather effective in studies of the eigenvalue distribution of large random matrices (see, for example [ 11, 12, 13 ]).
Our principal goal is to examine the presence of universality of the spectral characteristics for those ensembles of random matrices, for which the explicit form of the joint eigenvalue distribution

 UC Berkeley Mathematics
As the size of the matrix tends to infinity, the level density of a Gaussian ensemble (more generally, Wigner ensemble) tends to the semicircle distribution.
For the Wishart ensembles, similar results hold, with the limiting distribution depending on a parameter gamma which is the ratio of the two dimensions of the matrix.
I will show this result in a more general beta setting, for both the Hermite and the Laguerre ensembles, and generalize to slightly more complicated random matrices which can be modeled in a "fixed plus Gaussian" setting.

Wigner's Semicircle Law is not for Wishart matrices.

 Wigner quasi-probability distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wigner quasi-probability distribution was introduced by Eugene Wigner in 1932 to study quantum corrections to classical statistical mechanics.
The goal was to replace the wavefunction that appears in Schrödinger's equation with a probability distribution in phase space.
When one has a collection (ensemble) of particles, the probability of finding a particle at a certain position in phase space is given by a probability distribution.

Wigner was one of a group of renowned Jewish-Hungarian scientists and mathematicians from turn-of-the-century Budapest, including Paul Erdős, Edward Teller, John von Neumann, and Leó Szilárd.
