متن کاملDeterminism plus Chance in Random Matrix Theory
We study Hamiltonians consisting of a deterministic term plus a random term. Using a diagrammatic approach and introducing the concept of " gluon connected-ness, " we calculate the density of energy levels for a wide class of probability distributions governing the random term, thus generalizing a result obtained recently by Brézin, Hikami, and Zee. The method used here may be applied to a broa...
