Gaussian Ensembles of Hermitian matrices H Hermitian random matrix H = H † consists of independent Gaussian entries a) orthogonal ensemble, β = 1 - real random numbers, b) unitary ensemble, β = 2 - complex numbers (real at the diagonal!) c) symplectic ensemble, β = 4 - quaternions (2 × 2 matrices) leading to 2N × 2N matrix with each eigenvalue occurring twice. Different normalization conditions, we use the one implied by the normal distribution 〈Hij〉 = 0 and σ2 = 〈H2 ij 〉 = 1 GUE ⇒ Unitary invariance, P(H) = P(UHU † ) leads to joint probability distribution (jpd) of eigenvalues xi β P − Pβ(x1, . . .,xN) = CNe 2 j x2 j |xj − xk| β j
