Abstract

We investigate the spectral properties of the product of complex non-Hermitian random matrices that are obtained by removing rows and columns of larger unitary random matrices uniformly distributed on the group . Such matrices are called truncated unitary matrices or random contractions. We first derive the joint probability distribution for the eigenvalues of the product matrix for fixed , and , given by a standard determinantal point process in the complex plane. The weight however is non-standard and can be expressed in terms of the Meijer G-function. The explicit knowledge of all eigenvalue correlation functions and the corresponding kernel allows us to take various large (and ) limits at fixed . At strong non-unitarity, with finite, the eigenvalues condense on a domain inside the unit circle. At the edge and in the bulk we find the same universal microscopic kernel as for a single complex non-Hermitian matrix from the Ginibre ensemble. At the origin we find the same new universality classes labelled by as for the product of matrices from the Ginibre ensemble. Keeping a fixed size of truncation, , when goes to infinity leads to weak non-unitarity, with most eigenvalues on the unit circle as for unitary matrices. Here we find a new microscopic edge kernel that generalizes the known results for M=1. We briefly comment on the case when each product matrix results from a truncation of different size .
