A new classification scheme for Random Matrix Theories

Abstract

In the last few years several new Random Matrix Models have been proposed and studied. They have found application in various different contexts, ranging from the physics of mesoscopic systems to the chiral transition in lattice gauge theory. These new ensembles can be classified in terms of the same Dynkin diagrams and root lattices which are used in the classification of the Lie algebras.
