We introduce stable random matrix ensembles, generalizing Lévy distributions. These matrices exhibit Lévy tails and a novel microscopic universality.

Area of Science:

  • Random matrix theory
  • Probability theory
  • Statistical mechanics

Background:

  • Classical one-dimensional stable Lévy distributions describe phenomena with heavy tails.
  • Random matrix theory provides tools to analyze complex systems with many interacting components.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct stable random matrix ensembles generalizing Lévy distributions.
  • To investigate the properties of these ensembles, particularly their eigenvalue distributions and universality classes.

Main Methods:

  • Theory of free random variables
  • Coulomb gas analogy
  • Method of orthogonal polynomials

Main Results:

  • Construction of stable random matrix ensembles.

    • Conclusions:

    • Stable random matrix ensembles provide a powerful framework for generalizing Lévy distributions.
    • The eigenvalue distributions of these ensembles exhibit characteristic Lévy tails.
    • A new universality class is identified for Lévy tail distributions, offering insights into complex system behavior.
