Abstract: The spectral density for random matrix ensembles can be written in terms of the average of the absolute value of the characteristic polynomial raised to the power of , which for even is a polynomial of degree . In the cases of the classical Gaussian, Laguerre, and Jacobi weights, we show that this polynomial, and moreover the spectral density itself, can be characterised as the solution of a linear differential equation of degree . This equation, and its companion for the resolvent, are given explicitly for and 4 for all three classical cases, and also for in the Gaussian case. Known dualities for the spectral moments relating to then imply corresponding differential equations in the case , and for the Gaussian ensemble, the case . We apply the differential equations to give a systematic derivation of recurrences satisfied by the spectral moments and by the coefficients of their 1/N expansions, along with first-order differential equations for the coefficients of the 1/N expansions of the corresponding resolvents. We also present the form of the differential equations when scaled at the hard or soft edges.
