Eigenvalues of truncated unitary matrices: disk counting statistics

Abstract

Let $T$ be an $n\times n$ truncation of an $(n+\alpha)\times (n+\alpha)$ Haar distributed unitary matrix. We consider the disk counting statistics of the eigenvalues of $T$. We prove that as $n\to + \infty$ with $\alpha$ fixed, the associated moment generating function enjoys asymptotics of the form \begin{align*} \exp \big( C_{1} n + C_{2} + o(1) \big), \end{align*} where the constants $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ are given in terms of the incomplete Gamma function. Our proof uses the uniform asymptotics of the incomplete Beta function.
