On the spectral edge of non-Hermitian random matrices

For general non-Hermitian random matrices $X$ and deterministic deformation matrices $A$, we prove that the local eigenvalue statistics of $A+X$ close to the typical edge points of its spectrum are universal. Furthermore, we show that under natural assumptions on $A$ the spectrum of $A+X$ does not have outliers at a distance larger than the natural fluctuation scale of the eigenvalues. As a consequence, the number of eigenvalues in each component of $\mathrm{S}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{c}(A+X)$ is deterministic.
