contents We study the spectral behavior as the sample size $n \to +\infty$ of integral operators defined by convolution of a non-negative symmetric kernel k with respect to empirical measures $μ_n = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n δ_{X_i}$, where $\{X_i\}_{i=1}^n$ are independent uniform samples from a compact probability metric space $(\mathcal{X},d,μ)$. Relaxing the usual positivity and continuity assumptions on k, we prove the convergence of these empirical operators to their continuous counterparts, and provide explicit convergence rates.
