Abstract [en]
We study eigenvalues of unitary invariant random matrices and other de-terminantal point processes. Paper A investigates some generalizations ofthe Gaussian Unitary Ensemble which are motivated by the physics of freefermions. We show that these processes exhibit a transition from Poisson tosine statistics at mesoscopic scales and that, at the critical scale, fluctuationsare not Gaussian but are governed by complicated limit laws. In papers Band C, we prove limit theorems which cover the different regimes of randommatrix theory. In particular, this establishes universality of the fluctuations ofinvariant Hermitian random matrices in great generality. The techniques arebased on generalizations of the orthogonal polynomial method and the cumu-lant method developed by Soshnikov. In particular, the results rely on certaincombinatorial identities originating in the theory of random walks and on theasymptotics for Orthogonal polynomials coming from the Riemann-Hilbertsteepest descent introduced by Deift et al.
