Kinetic Dyson Brownian motion

Abstract

We study the spectrum of the kinetic Brownian motion in the space of d×dd\times d Hermitian matrices, d2d\geq2. We show that the eigenvalues stay distinct for all times, and that the process Λ\Lambda of eigenvalues is a kinetic diffusion (i.e. the pair (Λ,Λ˙)(\Lambda,\dot\Lambda) of Λ\Lambda and its derivative is Markovian) if and only if d=2d=2. In the large scale and large time limit, we show that Λ\Lambda converges to the usual (Markovian) Dyson Brownian motion under suitable normalisation, regardless of the dimension.
