Abstract

We point out that the method of Davis-Mikosch [Ann. Probab. 27 (1999) 522–536] gives for a symmetric circulant n×n matrix composed of i.i.d. entries with mean 0 and finite (2+δ)-moments in the first half-row that the maximum eigenvalue is on the order $\sqrt{2n \log n}$, and the fluctuations are Gumbel.
