We consider sample covariance matrices of the form X*X, where X is an M x N matrix with independent random entries. We prove the isotropic local Marchenko-Pastur law, i.e. we prove that the resolvent (X*X - z)(-1) converges to a multiple of the identity in the sense of quadratic forms. More precisely, we establish sharp high-probability bounds on the quantity < v, (X*X - z)(-1)w > - < v, w > m(z), where m is the Stieltjes transform of the Marchenko-Pastur law and v, w is an element of C-N. We require the logarithms of the dimensions M and N to be comparable. Our result holds down to scales Im z >= N-1+epsilon and throughout the entire spectrum away from 0. We also prove analogous results for generalized Wigner matrices.
