Abstract
We introduce random matrix ensembles that correspond to the infinite families of irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces of type I. In particular, we recover the Circular Orthogonal and Symplectic Ensembles of Dyson, and find other families of (unitary, orthogonal and symplectic) ensembles of Jacobi type. We discuss the universal and weakly universal features of the global and local correlations of the levels in the bulk and at the ‘‘hard’’ edge of the spectrum (i. e., at the ‘‘central points’’ ±1 on the unit circle). Previously known results are extended, and we find new simple formulas for the Bessel Kernels that describe the local correlations at a hard edge.
