Abstract

We rederive in a simplified version the Lehmann-Sommers eigenvalue distribution for the Gaussian ensemble of asymmetric real matrices, invariant under real orthogonal transformations, as a basis for a detailed derivation of a Pfaffian generating functional for nn-point densities. This produces a simple free-fermion diagram expansion for the correlations leading to quaternion determinants in each order n. All will explicitly be given with the help of a very simple symplectic kernel for even dimension NN. The kernel is valid both for complex and real eigenvalues and describes a deep connection between both. A slight modification by an artificial additional Grassmannian solves also the more complicated odd-NN case. As illustration we present some numerical results in the space Cn\mathbb{C}^n of complex eigenvalue nn-tuples.
