Examples#
Paper-replication scripts for physicskit.rmt, organized around Dyson’s
threefold way: each script reproduces a classic random matrix theory result
to numerical precision against its published closed-form law or reference.
Every script is real Python you can run directly
(python examples/rmt/paper_replications/<script>.py) and is also executed
live at documentation-build time to produce the gallery pages below – the
script is the source of truth for what you see, not a copy of it.
Replications#
Wigner-Dyson statistics – Wigner’s semicircle law for the bulk spectral density, the Wigner surmise for nearest-neighbor level spacing, Tracy-Widom soft-edge laws, spectral rigidity and universality, the Pandey-Mehta GOE-GUE crossover, and the Poisson (Berry-Tabor) baseline for integrable, non-chaotic spectra.
Beyond GOE/GUE/GSE – Dyson’s circular ensembles (COE, CUE, CSE) and the Keating-Snaith moments of the CUE characteristic polynomial, the Marchenko-Pastur law for Wishart covariance matrices (and Wishart’s original finite-sample data-matrix construction), the Wachter law for Jacobi ensembles, and Ginibre’s circular law for non-Hermitian matrices.
Symmetry classes, disorder, and non-Hermiticity – the Altland-Zirnbauer superconductor classes’ Bogoliubov-de Gennes eigenvalue symmetry, the Anderson localization transition in power-law banded matrices, and PT-symmetry breaking in pseudo-Hermitian ensembles.
Many-body and computational random matrix theory – the Two-Body Random Ensemble’s Gaussian (not semicircular) many-body density of states, Kitaev’s SYK model and its Wigner-Dyson many-body level statistics, Page’s conjecture for the average entanglement entropy of a random quantum state, and the Dumitriu-Edelman tridiagonal model that makes continuum-beta simulation possible at all.
