Correlations for the Dyson Brownian motion model with Poisson initial conditions
The circular Dyson Brownian motion model refers to the stochastic dynamics of
the log-gas on a circle. It also specifies the eigenvalues of certain
parameter-dependent ensembles of unitary random matrices. This model is
considered with the initial condition that the particles are non-interacting
(Poisson statistics). Jack polynomial theory is used to derive a simple exact
expression for the density-density correlation with the position of one
particle specified in the initial state, and the position of one particle
specified at time , valid for all .
The same correlation with two particles specified in the initial state is
also derived exactly, and some special cases of the theoretical correlations
are illustrated by comparison with the empirical correlations calculated from
the eigenvalues of certain parameter-dependent Gaussian random matrices.

Correlations for the orthogonal-unitary and symplectic-unitary transitions at the hard and soft edges
For the orthogonal-unitary and symplectic-unitary transitions in random
matrix theory, the general parameter dependent distribution between two sets of
eigenvalues with two different parameter values can be expressed as a
quaternion determinant. For the parameter dependent Gaussian and Laguerre
ensembles the matrix elements of the determinant are expressed in terms of
corresponding skew-orthogonal polynomials, and their limiting value for
infinite matrix dimension are computed in the vicinity of the soft and hard
edges respectively. A connection formula relating the distributions at the hard
and soft edge is obtained, and a universal asymptotic behaviour of the two
point correlation is identified.Comment: 37 pgs., 1fi
Beginner Modeling Exercises
The goal of this paper written as part of the MIT Systems Dynamics in Education Project is to teach the reader how to distinguish between stocks and flows. A stock is an accumulation that is changed over time by inflows and outflows. The reader will gain intuition about stocks and flow through and extensive list of different examples and will practice modeling simple systems with constant flows. STELLA modeling examples include, but are not restricted to, skunks populations, landfills, a bank account and nuclear weapons.

WINGS-CF Face-to-Face Meeting 2004
This report focuses mainly on workshop discussions and has been written from detailed notes taken by workshop scribes. Where there was overlap in discussion topics, some points have been combined: this is not just a transcript of the workshop discussions. The report starts with a summary of the implications for WINGS-CF from the meeting, and an overview of the workshops. For anyone who wants to delve more deeply into how a topic was explored at the gathering, Section 4 gives details of discussion, drawn from notes taken by each group and the "post-it" thoughts provided by participants before the working groups started the discussions
Tridiagonal realization of the anti-symmetric Gaussian -ensemble
The Householder reduction of a member of the anti-symmetric Gaussian unitary
ensemble gives an anti-symmetric tridiagonal matrix with all independent
elements. The random variables permit the introduction of a positive parameter
, and the eigenvalue probability density function of the corresponding
random matrices can be computed explicitly, as can the distribution of
, the first components of the eigenvectors. Three proofs are given.
One involves an inductive construction based on bordering of a family of random
matrices which are shown to have the same distributions as the anti-symmetric
tridiagonal matrices. This proof uses the Dixon-Anderson integral from Selberg
integral theory. A second proof involves the explicit computation of the
Jacobian for the change of variables between real anti-symmetric tridiagonal
matrices, its eigenvalues and . The third proof maps matrices from the
anti-symmetric Gaussian -ensemble to those realizing particular examples
of the Laguerre -ensemble. In addition to these proofs, we note some
simple properties of the shooting eigenvector and associated Pr\"ufer phases of
the random matrices.Comment: 22 pages; replaced with a new version containing orthogonal

Analogies between random matrix ensembles and the one-component plasma in two-dimensions
The eigenvalue PDF for some well known classes of non-Hermitian random
matrices --- the complex Ginibre ensemble for example --- can be interpreted as
the Boltzmann factor for one-component plasma systems in two-dimensional
domains. We address this theme in a systematic fashion, identifying the plasma
system for the Ginibre ensemble of non-Hermitian Gaussian random matrices ,
the spherical ensemble of the product of an inverse Ginibre matrix and a
Ginibre matrix , and the ensemble formed by truncating unitary
matrices, as well as for products of such matrices. We do this when each has
either real, complex or real quaternion elements. One consequence of this
analogy is that the leading form of the eigenvalue density follows as a
corollary. Another is that the eigenvalue correlations must obey sum rules
known to characterise the plasma system, and this leads us to a exhibit an
integral identity satisfied by the two-particle correlation for real quaternion
matrices in the neighbourhood of the real axis. Further random matrix ensembles
investigated from this viewpoint are self dual non-Hermitian matrices, in which
a previous study has related to the one-component plasma system in a disk at
inverse temperature , and the ensemble formed by the single row and
column of quaternion elements from a member of the circular symplectic
ensemble.Comment: 25 page
Asymptotics of finite system Lyapunov exponents for some random matrix ensembles
For products of random matrices of size , there is a
natural notion of finite Lyapunov exponents . In the
case of standard Gaussian random matrices with real, complex or real quaternion
elements, and extended to the general variance case for , methods known
for the computation of are used to
compute the large form of the variances of the exponents. Analogous
calculations are performed in the case that the matrices making up are
products of sub-blocks of random unitary matrices with Haar measure.
Furthermore, we make some remarks relating to the coincidence of the Lyapunov
exponents and the stability exponents relating to the eigenvalues of .Comment: 15 page
