Abstract

I present here some results on the statistical behaviour of large random matrices in an ensemble where the probability distribution is not a function of the eigenvalues only. The perturbative expansion can be cast in a closed form and the limits of validity of this expansion are carefully analyzed. A comparison is done with a similar model with quenched disorder, where the solution can be found by using the replica method. Finally I will apply these results to a model which should describe the liquid-glass transitionin high dimensions.
