Here, we provide an alternative framework which allows us to generalize the result to ensembles with arbitrary mix of odd and even charges, albeit with the same limitations on β. These Berezin integral expressions are analogous to the (Pfaffian) de Bruijn integral identities [6] (for classical β = 1 and β = 4 ensembles). Our methods are analogous to algebraic methods first used by Thibon and Luque [12] in the classical single species cases. In subsection 3.1, we demonstrate how these methods can also be applied to iterated integrals of more general determinantal integrands.
By first conditioning on the number of particles of each species, the partition function for the Isocharge Grand Canonical Ensemble is built up from the partition functions of the Canonical type, revealing the former to be a generating function of the latter as a function of the fugacities of each species (roughly, the probability of the occurrence of any one particle of a given charge). In section 7, we produce analogous results for charged particles placed on the unit circle in the complex plane.
1.1 Historical context
The β-ensembles are a well-studied collection of random matrices whose eigenvalue densities take a common form, indexed by a non-negative, real parameter β. Suppose µ is a continuous probability measure on R dµ R with Radon-Nikodym derivative dx = w(x). For each β >0, consider the N-point process specified by the joint probability density ∈ 1 ρ (x ,...,x )= x x β w(x ) N 1 N Z (β)N! | j − i| i N i 2 The classical β-ensembles (with β =1, 2, 4 and w(x)= e−x /2), corresponding to Hermitian matrices with real, complex, or quaternionic Gaussian entries (respectively), were first studied in the 1920s by Wishart in multivariate statistics [23] and the 1950s by Wigner in nuclear physics [22]. In the subsequent decade, Dyson and Mehta [9] unified a previously disparate collection of random matrix models by demonstrating that the three classic β-ensembles are each variations of a single action on random Hermitian matrices (representing the three associative division algebras over R). In [7], Dumitriu and Edelman provide tridiagonal matrix models for β-ensembles of arbitrary positive β, which are then used by Ram´ırez, Rider, and Vir´ag in [16] to obtain the asymptotic distribution of the largest eigenvalue. For each 1 n N, define the nth correlation function by ≤ ≤ 1 Rn(x1,...,xn)= ρN (x1,...,xn,y1,...,yN−n) dy1 dyN−n. (N n)! RN−n ··· − Z It turns out that the correlation function for the classic β-ensembles takes a particularly nice algebraic form. For example, when β = 2, it can be shown using only elementary matrix operations and Fubini’s Theorem that 1 Rn(x1,...,xn)= det(K(xi, xj )1≤i,j≤n), ZN (2) where the kernel K(x, y) is a certain square integrable function R R R that can most easily be expressed in terms a family of polynomials which are orthogonal with respect× to→ the measure µ. For this reason, we say 2 the classical β = 2 ensemble is an example of a determinantal point process. The details of this derivation are given in [14]. Similarly, when β = 1 or 4, 1 Rn(x1,...,xn)= Pf(K(xi, xj )1≤i,j≤n), ZN (β) where Pf(A)= det(A) denotes the Pfaffian of an antisymmetric matrix A, and where K(x, y) is a certain 2 2 matrix-valued function whose entries are square-integrable, and which satisfies K(x, y)T = K(y, x). p We× then say the classical β = 1 and β = 4 ensembles are examples of Pfaffian point processes. This− result was first shown for circular ensembles by Dyson in [8], then for Gaussian ensembles by Mehta in [14] and then for general weights (µ) by Mehta and Mahoux in [13], except for the case β = 1 and N odd. Finally, the last remaining case was given by Adler, Forrester, and Nagao in [1]. Of fundamental concern in the theory of random matrices is the behavior of eigenvalue statistics as N . The immediate advantage of these determinantal and Pfaffian expressions for the correlation functions→ is ∞ that these matrix kernels do not essentially increase in complexity as N grows large, since the dimensions are the matrix kernel are stable, and the entries are expressed as a sum whose asymptotics are well-understood. 1.2 Hyperpfaffian partition functions Derivations of the determinantal and Pfaffian expressions of the correlation functions have been presented in numerous ways over the past several decades. Of particular note is the method of Tracy and Widom [21], who first show that the partition function is determinantal or Pfaffian, and then use matrix identities and generating functions to obtain a corresponding form for the correlation functions. But recognizing the partition function ZN (β) as the determinant or Pfaffian of a matrix of integrals of appropriately chosen orthogonal polynomials is essential and nontrivial. One way to do this is to apply the Andreif determinant identity [2] to the iterated integral which defines ZN (β). This is immediate when β = 2, and viewing the Pfaffian as the square root of a determinant, this identity can also be applied (with some additional finesse) when β = 1 or 4. However, viewing the Pfaffian in the context of the exterior algebra allows us to extend the Andreif determinant identity to analogous Pfaffian identities (referred to as the de Bruijn integral identities [6]). In 2002, Luque and Thibon [12] used techniques in the shuffle algebra to show that when β = L2 is an even square integer, the partition function ZN (β) can be written as a Hyperpfaffian of an L-form whose coefficients are integrals of Wronskians of suitable polynomials. Then in 2011, Sinclair [19] used other combinatorial methods to show that the result also holds when β = L2 is an odd square integer. In this volume, we consider multicomponent ensembles in which the joint probability density functions generally have the form 1 ρ (x ,...,x )= x x βf(i,j) w (x ), N 1 N Z (β)N! | j − i| i i f i In 2012, Sinclair showed (using his same methods) the partition function Zf (β) has a Berezin integral expression when each √βLj is an even integer. Herein, we extend to arbitrary positive integers √βLj Z>0 using shuffle algebra techniques, analogous to the methods of Thibon and Luque. Note, single-component∈ 3 β-ensembles are a subset of multicomponent ensembles in which f(i, j) = 1, and the Berezin integral is a generalization of the Hyperpfaffian. Thus, one consequence of this work is a new, streamlined derivation of the Hyperpfaffian partition functions for the single-component β-ensembles in which β = L2 is any square integer, even or odd. Though multicomponent ensembles are the focus of this volume, our methods further generalize to other ensembles. We explore many of these possibilities in a forthcoming volume. One key observation is that ρN can be written as a determinant (typically easier than expressing ZN as a determinant). More generally, we can replace the partition function ZN (or Zf ) with an iterated integral of any determinant fitting certain criteria. In subsection 3.1, we describe how to modify the statement of the main results of this volume, producing a vast generalization of the de Bruijn integral identities. 1.3 The multicomponent setup Let J Z>0 be a positive integer, the maximum number of distinct charges in the system. Let L~ = ∈ J (L1,L2,...,LJ ) (Z>0) be a vector of distinct positive integers which we will call the charge vector of the ∈ J system. Let M~ (Z≥ ) be a vector of non-negative integers which we will call the population vector of the ∈ 0 system. Each Mj gives the number (possibly zero) of indistinguishable particles of charge Lj . Let x = (x1, x2,..., xJ ) RM1 RM2 RMJ ∈ × ×···× so that xj = (xj , xj ,...,xj ) RMj for each j. We call x the location vector of the system in which each 1 2 Mj ∈ j R j xm gives the location of a particle of charge Lj . We call x the location vector for the species with ∈ j charge Lj. If some Mj = 0, then we take x to be the empty vector. The particles are assumed to interact logarithmically on an infinite wire so that the contribution of j k energy to the system by two particles of charge Lj and Lk at locations xm and xn respectively is given by k j LjLk log xn xm .
