A feature of certain ensembles of random matrices is that the corresponding measure is invariant under conjugation by unitary matrices. Study of such ensembles realised by matrices with Gaussian entries leads to statistical quantities…
In deriving large n probability distribution function of the rightmost eigenvalue from the classical Random Matrix Theory Ensembles, one is faced with que question of finding large n asymptotic of certain coupled set of functions. This…
The $\tau$-function theory of Painlev\'e systems is used to derive recurrences in the rank $n$ of certain random matrix averages over U(n). These recurrences involve auxilary quantities which satisfy discrete Painlev\'e equations. The…

This paper first surveys the connection of integrable systems of the Painleve type to various distribution functions appearing in Wigner-Dyson random matrix theory. A short discussion is then given of the appearance of these same…
Selecting N random points in a unit square corresponds to selecting a random permutation. By putting 5 types of symmetry restrictions on the points, we obtain subsets of permutations : involutions, signed permutations and signed…
The Hammersley process relates to the statistical properties of the maximum length of all up/right paths connecting random points of a given density in the unit square from (0,0) to (1,1). This process can also be interpreted in terms of…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the partition function and the correlation kernel in random matrix ensembles of the form $\frac{1}{Z_n} \big|\det \big( M^2-tI \big)\big|^{\alpha} e^{-n\operatorname{Tr} V(M)}dM$, where $M$ is an $n\times…
With $<\cdot>$ denoting an average with respect to the eigenvalue PDF for the Laguerre unitary ensemble, the object of our study is $ \tilde{E}_N(I;a,\mu) := < \prod_{l=1}^N \chi_{(0,\infty)\backslash I}^{(l)} (\lambda - \lambda_l)^\mu>$…
Random contractions (sub-unitary random matrices) appear naturally when considering quantized chaotic maps within a general theory of open linear stationary systems with discrete time. We analyze statistical properties of complex…
We consider the distributions of the lengths of the longest weakly increasing and strongly decreasing subsequences in words of length N from an alphabet of k letters. We find Toeplitz determinant representations for the exponential…

The distribution function for the first eigenvalue spacing in the Laguerre unitary ensemble of finite size may be expressed in terms of a solution of the fifth Painleve transcendent. The generating function of a certain discontinuous linear…
We consider the $n$-correlation of eigenvalues of random unitary matrices in the alternative form that is not the tidy determinant common in random matrix theory, but rather the expression derived from averages of ratios of characteristic…
