This is the set of Hermitian N×N matrices H with probability density P(H)dH=N∏i<jdReHij∏i<jdImHij ∏idHiiexp(−12 tr(H2))
where N is the normalization constant. The spectral density ρ(λ) is defined by
ρ(x)dx=N∑k=1P(x≤λk≤x+dx)
with λk the N eigenvalues of the matrix H. In chapter 6 of his book, Mehta calculates that
ρ(x)=KN(x,x)
with
KN(x,y)=HN(x)HN−1(y)−HN(y)HN−1(x)x−ye−x24−y24
Thus
ρ(x)=(HN−1(x)H′N(x)−HN(x)H′N−1(x))e−x22
Here HN(x) are the Hermite polynomials. I now check formula (1) for N=1,2,3 with a Monte Carlo simulation in Mathematica. I generate matrices from the GUE as follows: I draw matrices A and B whose elements Aij and Bij are independent normal random variables and take
H=12(A+AT)+i2(B−BT)
Then I calculate the N eigenvalues of H. This is the code that I use for this.
Clear[randomsamples]
(* This code calculates the eigenvalues of NSamples matrices from GUE.
The size of the matrices is NN times NN *)
randomsamples[NN_, NSamples_] :=
Table[A = RandomVariate[NormalDistribution[], {NN, NN}];
B = RandomVariate[NormalDistribution[], {NN, NN}];
H = 1/2 (A + Transpose[A]) + I / 2 (B - Transpose[B]);
Eigenvalues[H], {k, NSamples}] // Flatten
N = 1
In this case ρ(x)=1√2πexp(−x22)
I produce a graph with the following commands
NSamples = 10000;
NN = 1;
randomeigs = randomsamples[NN, NSamples];
fig1 = Histogram[randomeigs, {-3, 3, 0.1}, "PDF"];
fig2 = Plot[1/Sqrt[2 Pi] Exp[-x^2/2], {x, -3, 3}, PlotStyle -> Red];
Show[fig1, fig2]
N = 2
In this case ρ(x)=e−x22(x2+1)2√2π
I produce a graph with the following commands
NSamples = 50000;
NN = 2;
randomeigs = randomsamples[NN, NSamples];
fig1 = Histogram[randomeigs, {-4, 4, 0.1}, "PDF"];
fig2 = Plot[ (E^(-(x^2/2)) (1 + x^2))/(2 Sqrt[2 \[Pi]]), {x, -4, 4},
PlotStyle -> Red];
Show[fig1, fig2]

N = 3
In this case ρ(x)=e−x22(x4+3)6√2π
I produce a graph with the following commands
NSamples = 50000;
NN = 3;
randomeigs = randomsamples[NN, NSamples];
fig1 = Histogram[randomeigs, {-5, 5, 0.1}, "PDF"];
fig2 = Plot[ (E^(-(x^2/2)) (3 + x^4))/(6 Sqrt[2 \[Pi]]), {x, -5, 5},
PlotStyle -> Red];
Show[fig1, fig2]
Warning: In this post, I have not paid attention to overall constants in expressions, I only made sure the normalizations were consistent in the Mathematica code.
