Symmetric Matrix Ensemble and Integrable Hydrodynamic Chains

Abstract

The partition function of the Symmetric Matrix Ensemble is identified with the $\tau -$function of a particular solution of the Pfaff Lattice. We show that in the case of even power interactions, in the thermodynamic limit, the $\tau -$function corresponds to the solution of an integrable chain of hydrodynamic type. We prove that the hydrodynamic chain so obtained is diagonalisable and admits hydrodynamic reductions in Riemann invariants in an arbitrary number of components.
