Abstract

We present a classification of non-hermitian random matrices based on implementing commuting discrete symmetries. It contains 38 classes. This generalizes the classification of hermitian random matrices due to Altland-Zirnbauer and it also extends the Ginibre ensembles of non-hermitian matrices.

8 pages, contribution to the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Statistical Field Theories, Como (Italy), 18-23 June 2001. Compared to our 2001 version, we corrected two misprints in one table that in the previous version led us to miscount the number of classes as 43 whereas it should have been 38. Explicit details of the classification are unchanged
