Average maximal spacing 〈smax〉 Approximation of independent spacings Assume spacings sj described by the distribution Pβ(s) are independent. Mean maximal spacing for COE Since for large spacings Pβ(s) ∼ s 1 exp(−s 2 ) so the integrated distribution I1(s) = s 0 P(s′ )ds ′ behaves as I1(s) ∼ −exp(−s 2 ) Matrix of order N yields N spacings sj. The maximal spacing smax occurs for such an argument that 1 − I1(smax) ≈ 1/N. Thus exp[−(smax) 2 ] ≈ 1/N =⇒ smax ≈ √ lnN However, these results (and many more) appeared recently (October 2010) in a preprint arXiv:1010.1294 ”Extreme gaps between eigenvalues of random matrices” by Ben Arous and Bourgade.

Concluding Remarks Random Matrices: a) offer a useful tool applicable in several branches of science including physics ! b) display (asymptotically) universal properties, which depend on the symmetry with respect to orthogonal / unitary / symplectic transformations Limit N → ∞ corresponds to the semiclassical limit of quantum theory or geometric optics as a limiting case of wave optics! Problem of extremal eigenvalues is described by Tracy–Widom distributions. The analogous problem of extremal spacings is studied only recently Preliminary results on spectral statistics of local unitary evolution operators (with tensor product structure).
