Abstract

Correlations for parameter-dependent Gaussian random matrices, intermediate between symmetric and Hermitian and antisymmetric Hermitian and Hermitian, are calculated. The (dynamical) density-density correlation between eigenvalues at different values of the parameter is calculated for the symmetric to Hermitian transition and the scaledN→∞ limit is computed. For the antisymmetric Hermitian to Hermitian transition the equal-parametern-point distribution function is calculated and the scaled limit computed. A circular version of the antisymmetric Hermitian to Hermitian transition is formulated. In the thermodynamic limit the equal-parameter distribution function is shown to coincide with the scaled-limit expression of this distribution for the Gaussian antisymmetric Hermitian to Hermitian transition. Furthermore, the thermodynamic limit of the corresponding density-density correlation is computed. The results for the correlations are illustrated by comparison with empirical correlations calculated from numerical data obtained from computer-generated Gaussian random matrices.
