Abstract: We consider large Hermitian matrices whose entries are defined by evaluating the exponential function along orbits of the skew-shift $$ for irrational $omega$. We prove that the eigenvalue distribution of these matrices converges to the corresponding distribution from random matrix theory on the global scale, namely, the Wigner semicircle law for square matrices and the Marchenko-Pastur law for rectangular matrices. The results evidence the quasi-random nature of the skew-shift dynamics which was observed in other contexts by Bourgain-Goldstein-Schlag and Rudnick-Sarnak-Zaharescu.

Review text

One of the main purposes in random matrix theory is to prove the universality character of random models of matrices. In this article, the authors consider a Hermitian matrix of the form \[ \left( \begin{array}{cc} 0 & X \\ X^{*} & 0 \end{array} \right) \] where the entries of \(X\) are generated by sampling along the orbits of an ergodic dynamical system. The authors prove that for these type of matrices one still obtains the universality of the eigenvalues typical of random matrix models. This means that the distribution of the eigenvalues follow asymptotically the Wigner semicircle or the Marchenko-Pastur law. The analysis relies on the study of the moments of the distribution functions and their representation by means of graph theory.
