Abstract: We analyze the properties of entangled random pure states of a quantum system partitioned into two smaller subsystems of dimensions $N$ and $M$. Framing the problem in terms of random matrices with a fixed-trace constraint, we establish, for arbitrary $NleqM$, a general relation between the $n$-point densities and the cross-moments of the eigenvalues of the reduced density matrix, i.e. the so-called Schmidt eigenvalues, and the analogous functionals of the eigenvalues of the Wishart-Laguerre ensemble of the random matrix theory. This allows us to derive explicit expressions for two-level densities, and also an exact expression for the variance of von Neumann entropy at finite $N,M$. Then we focus on the moments $mathbbE{K}^a$ of the Schmidt number $K$, the reciprocal of the purity. This is a random variable supported on $[1,N]$, which quantifies the number of degrees of freedom effectively contributing to the entanglement. We derive a wealth of analytical results for $mathbbE{K}^a$ for $N=2$ and $N=3$ and arbitrary $M$, and also for square $N=M$ systems by spotting for the latter a connection with the probability $P(x_{min}^{GUE}geqsqrt2Nxi)$ that the smallest eigenvalue $x_{min}^{GUE}$ of a $NimesN$ matrix belonging to the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble is larger than $sqrt2Nxi$. As a byproduct, we present an exact asymptotic expansion for $P(x_{min}^{GUE}geqsqrt2Nxi)$ for finite $N$ as $xioinfty$. Our results are corroborated by numerical simulations whenever possible, with excellent agreement.
