The real Ginibre ensemble with \(k=O(n)\) real eigenvalues (Q300704)

The authors consider the ensemble of real Ginibre matrices conditioned to have positive fraction \(\alpha >0\) of real eigenvalues. They demonstrate a large deviations principle for the joint eigenvalue density of such matrices and introduce a two phase log-gas whose stationary distribution coincides with the spectral measure of the ensemble. Using these tools they provide an asymptotic expansion for the probability \(p_{\alpha n}^n\) that an \(n\times n\) Ginibre matrix has \(k=\alpha n\) real eigenvalues and then they characterize the spectral measures of these matrices.
