Summary on Grant Application Form
We will 1) calculate multipoint correlation functions of products and ratios of spectral determinants for large non-Hermitian random matrices exploting the mapping onto a non-linear sigma-model. We will try also to get insights into related problems for complex symmetric matrices 2) calculate the two-point correlation function of spectral determinants of non-unitary random matrices of arbitrary size using Itzykson-Zuber-Harish-Chandra integral and express it in terms of symmetric polynomials. Further, we will try to calculate correlation functions of traces of integer powers of non-unitary matrices which can be instructive for revealing the underlying combinatorial structures. 3) use the obtained correlation functions for extracting statistical information on eigenvalues and eigenvectors, as well as on elements of S-matrix, cross-sections and other characteristics of quantum chaotic scattering. 4) consider low-rank perturbations of large random matrices from point of view of possible relations to integrable models of Calogero-Sutherland type. 1) We will calculate multipoint correlation functions of products and ratios of spectral determinants for large non-Hermitian random matrices exploting the mapping onto a non-linear sigma-model.
