Sums of GUE matrices and concentration of hives from correlation decay of eigengaps by Narayanan, Hariharan, Sheffield, Scott, Tao, Terence

“…Our main ingredients include a representation due to Speyer of augmented hives involving a supremum of linear functions applied to a product of Gelfand–Tsetlin polytopes; known results by Klartag on the KLS conjecture in order to handle the aforementioned supremum; covariance bounds of Cipolloni–Erdős–Schröder of eigenvalue gaps of GUE; and the use of the theory of determinantal processes to analyze the GUE minor process.…”
