Eigenvalue statistics of the real Ginibre ensemble

The real Ginibre ensemble consists of random $N \times N$ matrices formed from i.i.d. standard Gaussian entries. By using the method of skew orthogonal polynomials, the general $n$-point correlations for the real eigenvalues, and for the complex eigenvalues, are given as $n \times n$ Pfaffians with explicit entries. A computationally tractable formula for the cumulative probability density of the largest real eigenvalue is presented. This is relevant to May's stability analysis of biological webs.Comment: 4 pages, to appear PR
