Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical 45 (44) : -. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1088/1751-8113/45/44/444014 | Abstract: | A possibly fruitful extension of conventional random matrix ensembles is proposed by imposing symmetry constraints on conventional Hermitian matrices or paritytime (PT )-symmetric matrices. To illustrate the main idea, we first study 2 × 2 complex Hermitian matrix ensembles with O(2)-invariant constraints, yielding novel level-spacing statistics such as singular distributions, the half-Gaussian distribution, distributions interpolating between the GOE (Gaussian orthogonal ensemble) distribution and half-Gaussian distributions, as well as the gapped-GOE distribution. Such a symmetry-reduction strategy is then used to explore 2 × 2 PT -symmetric matrix ensembles with real eigenvalues. In particular, PT -symmetric random matrix ensembles with U(2) invariance can be constructed, with the conventional complex Hermitian random matrix ensemble being a special case. In two examples of PT - symmetric random matrix ensembles, the level-spacing distributions are found to be the standard GUE (Gaussian unitary ensemble) statistics or the truncated- GUE statistics. © 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd. | Source Title: | Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/95593 | ISSN: | 17518113 | DOI: | 10.1088/1751-8113/45/44/444014 |
