Large Random Matrices: Eigenvalue Distribution

Abstract

A recursive method is derived to calculate all eigenvalue correlation functions of a random hermitian matrix in the large size limit, and after smoothing of the short scale oscillations. The property that the two-point function is universal, is recovered and the three and four-point functions are given explicitly. One observes that higher order correlation functions are linear combinations of universal functions with coefficients depending on an increasing number of parameters of the matrix distribution.
