Abstract: We study the spectrum of the kinetic Brownian motion in the space of dimesd Hermitian matrices, dgeq2. We show that the eigenvalues stay distinct for all times, and that the process Lambda of eigenvalues is a kinetic diffusion (i.e. the pair (Lambda,dotLambda) of Lambda and its derivative is Markovian) if and only if d=2. In the large scale and large time limit, we show that Lambda converges to the usual (Markovian) Dyson Brownian motion under suitable normalisation, regardless of the dimension.


The author studies kinetic Dyson Brownian motions as follows: Let \((H_t^.)_{t\ge0}\) be a Brownian motion on the unit sphere in the vector space of all \(d\times d\) Hermitian matrices, and \((H_t=\int_0^t H_s^.ds)_{t\ge 0}\) the associated velocity spherical Brownian motion. The \(2d\)-dimensional processes \((L_t,L_t^. )_{t\ge0}\) of the the associated eigenvalues then are called kinetic Dyson Brownian motions. The author shows that these \(2d\)-dimensional processes are Markovian precisely for \(d=2\), and that \((L_t )_{t\ge0}\) tends to the usual Dyson Brownian motion when taking some canonical space-time-scalings and limit.
