Correlations for the orthogonal-unitary and symplectic-unitary transitions at the hard and soft edges

Abstract

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
