Description
Random matrix theory, both as an application and as a theory, has evolved rapidly over the years. This title chronicles these developments, emphasizing log-gases as a physical picture. It covers topics such as beta ensembles and Jack polynomials. It develops the application and theory of Gaussian and circular ensembles of random matrix theory.
Author Biography
Peter J. Forrester is professor of mathematics at the University of Melbourne.
Reviews"Log-Gases and Random Matrices is an excellent book. It is bound to become an instant classic and the standard reference to a large body of contemporary random matrix theory. It is a well-written tour through a vast landscape. The contemporary literature is extensively referenced and incorporated in the text, and the material is presented from several perspectives. Forrester has achieved the pedagogical equivalent of Dyson's 'Threefold Way' by writing an advanced monograph appealing equally to physicists, mathematicians, and statisticians."--Steven Joel Miller and Eduardo Duenez, Mathematical Reviews
