Abstract: A new non-Hermitian chiral random matrix model is proposed. For three flavors, it is shown that in the large-$N$ limit with $N$ the matrix size, the color $mathrmSU(3)$ and the flavor $mathrmSU(3)$ symmetries are spontaneously broken to the diagonal $mathrmSU(3)$ subgroup, realizing color-flavor locking. The nonlinear sigma model representation is rigorously derived and compared with the CFL chiral Lagrangian of QCD. For two flavors, the color $mathrmSU(3)$ symmetry is shown to be spontaneously broken to $mathrmSU(2)$ while the chiral $mathrmSU(2{)}_{L}imesmathrmSU(2{)}_R$ symmetry remains intact, thus reproducing the symmetry breaking pattern of the 2SC phase in QCD.
