Gromov's compactness theorem for pseudo-holomorphic curves is a foundational result in symplectic geometry. It controls the compactness of the moduli space of pseudo-holomorphic curves with bounded area in a symplectic manifold. In this paper, we prove the analog of Gromov's compactness theorem in non-archimedean analytic geometry. We work in the framework of Berkovich spaces. First, we introduce a notion of Kähler structure in non-archimedean analytic geometry using metrizations of virtual line bundles. Second, we introduce formal stacks and non-archimedean analytic stacks. Then we construct the moduli stack of non-archimedean analytic stable maps using formal models, Artin's representability criterion and the geometry of stable curves. Finally, we reduce the non-archimedean problem to the known compactness results in algebraic geometry. The motivation of this paper is to provide the foundations for non-archimedean enumerative geometry.

We develop the foundations of higher geometric stacks in complex analytic geometry and in non-archimedean analytic geometry. We study coherent sheaves and prove the analog of Grauert's theorem for derived direct images under proper morphisms. We define analytification functors and prove the analog of Serre's GAGA theorems for higher stacks. We use the language of infinity category to simplify the theory. In particular, it enables us to circumvent the functoriality problem of the lisse-étale sites for sheaves on stacks. Our constructions and theorems cover the classical 1-stacks as a special case.

We analyse the spectrum of additive finite-rank deformations of $N \times N$ Wigner matrices $H$. The spectrum of the deformed matrix undergoes a transition, associated with the creation or annihilation of an outlier, when an eigenvalue $d_i$ of the deformation crosses a critical value $\pm 1$. This transition happens on the scale $|d_i| - 1 \sim N^{-1/3}$. We allow the eigenvalues $d_i$ of the deformation to depend on $N$ under the condition $|\abs{d_i} - 1| \geq (\log N)^{C \log \log N} N^{-1/3}$. We make no assumptions on the eigenvectors of the deformation. In the limit $N \to \infty$, we identify the law of the outliers and prove that the non-outliers close to the spectral edge have a universal distribution coinciding with that of the extremal eigenvalues of a Gaussian matrix ensemble. A key ingredient in our proof is the \emph{isotropic local semicircle law}, which establishes optimal high-probability bounds on the quantity $< v,[(H - z)^{-1} - m(z) 1] w >$, where $m(z)$ is the Stieltjes transform of Wigner's semicircle law and $v, w$ are arbitrary deterministic vectors.

In this paper we prove the universality of covariance matrices of the form $H_{Ntimes N}={X}^{dagger}X$ where $X$ is an ${Mtimes N}$ rectangular matrix with independent real valued entries $x_{ij}$ satisfying $mathbb{E}x_{ij}=0$ and $mathbb{E}x^2_{ij}={frac{1}{M}}$, $N$, $Mto infty$. Furthermore it is assumed that these entries have sub-exponential tails or sufficiently high number of moments. We will study the asymptotics in the regime $N/M=d_Nin(0,infty),lim_{Ntoinfty}d_Nneq0,infty$. Our main result is the edge universality of the sample covariance matrix at both edges of the spectrum. In the case $lim_{Ntoinfty}d_N=1$, we only focus on the largest eigenvalue. Our proof is based on a novel version of the Green function comparison theorem for data matrices with dependent entries. En route to proving edge universality, we establish that the Stieltjes transform of the empirical eigenvalue distribution of $H$ is given by the Marcenko-Pastur law uniformly up to the edges of the spectrum with an error of order $(Neta)^{-1}$ where $eta$ is the imaginary part of the spectral parameter in the Stieltjes transform. Combining these results with existing techniques we also show bulk universality of covariance matrices. All our results hold for both real and complex valued entries.

The circular law asserts that the spectral measure of eigenvalues of rescaled random matrices without symmetry assumption converges to the uniform measure on the unit disk. We prove a local version of this law at any point z away from the unit circle. More precisely, if ||z|−1|≥τ for arbitrarily small τ>0, the circular law is valid around z up to scale $N^{-1/2+ \e}$ for any $\e > 0$ under the assumption that the distributions of the matrix entries satisfy a uniform subexponential decay condition.
