Nonhermitean Random Matrix Models I

  • 29 December 1996
Abstract
We introduce an extension of the diagrammatic rules in random matrix theory and apply it to nonhermitean random matrix models using the 1/N approximation. A number of one- and two-point functions are evaluated on their holomorphic and nonholomorphic supports to leading order in 1/N. The one-point functions describe the distribution of eigenvalues, while the two-point functions characterize their macroscopic correlations. Generic form for the two-point functions are obtained, generalizing the concept of macroscopic universality to nonhermitean random matrices. We use the present diagrammatic analysis to extend Voiculescu's free random variable approach to the nonhermitean case. Most of our analytical results are found to be in good agreement with numerical calculations using large ensembles of complex matrices.
