Superbosonization

Abstract

We give a constructive proof for the superbosonization formula for invariant random matrix ensembles, which is the supersymmetry analog of the theory of Wishart matrices. Formulas are given for unitary, orthogonal and symplectic symmetry, but worked out explicitly only for the orthogonal case. The method promises to become a powerful tool for investigating the universality of spectral correlation functions for a broad class of random matrix ensembles of non-Gaussian type.
