Universal eigenvector correlations in quaternionic Ginibre ensembles

TL;DR

This paper investigates the universal behavior of eigenvector overlaps in quaternionic Ginibre ensembles, revealing that in the large matrix limit, the correlations match those of the complex Ginibre ensemble, demonstrating universality across symmetry classes.

Contribution

It provides an explicit Pfaffian formula for eigenvector overlaps in quaternionic Ginibre ensembles and proves their universality in the large matrix limit.

Findings

Eigenvector overlaps are expressed as a Pfaffian determinant.

In the large-N limit, overlaps match those of the complex Ginibre ensemble.

The results demonstrate universality across different quaternionic ensembles.

Abstract

Non-Hermitian random matrices enjoy non-trivial correlations in the statistics of their eigenvectors. We study the overlap among left and right eigenvectors in Ginibre ensembles with quaternion valued Gaussian matrix elements. This concept was introduced by Chalker and Mehlig in the complex Ginibre ensemble. Using a Schur decomposition, for harmonic potentials we can express the overlap in terms of complex eigenvalues only, coming in conjugate pairs in this symmetry class. Its expectation value leads to a Pfaffian determinant, for which we explicitly compute the matrix elements for the induced Ginibre ensemble with $2\alpha$ zero eigenvalues, for finite matrix size $N$. In the macroscopic large-$N$ limit in the bulk of the spectrum we recover the limiting expressions of the complex Ginibre ensemble for the diagonal and off-diagonal overlap, which are thus universal.
