Infinite random matrices and ergodic measures

arXiv:math-ph/0010015 · doi:10.1007/s002200100529

Abstract

We introduce and study a 2-parameter family of unitarily invariant probability measures on the space of infinite Hermitian matrices. We show that the decomposition of a measure from this family on ergodic components is described by a determinantal point process on the real line. The correlation kernel for this process is explicitly computed. At certain values of parameters the kernel turns into the well-known sine kernel which describes the local correlation in Circular and Gaussian Unitary Ensembles. Thus, the random point configuration of the sine process is interpreted as the random set of ``eigenvalues'' of infinite Hermitian matrices distributed according to the corresponding measure.
