Abstract

Statistics over the Gaussian unitary ensemble and the Wishart ensemble of random matrices often have nice closed-form expressions. These are related to multivariate extensions of the Hermite, Laguerre, and Jacobi polynomials, which often occur in the study of these ensembles. In the paper, we develop a formal qq-analog of the Gaussian unitary ensemble, using qq-Hermite polynomials and coefficient extraction instead of integration. This way we derive qq-analogs for many well-known eigenvalue statistics. One of these is related to the Harer-Zagier formula, which uses a matrix integral to count the number of unicellular maps on nn vertices by genus.
