Abstract
We study a class of tridiagonal matrix models, the “q-roots of unity” models, which includes the sign (q=2) and the clock (q=∞) models by Feinberg and Zee. We find that the eigenvalue densities are bounded by and have the symmetries of the regular polygon with 2q sides, in the complex plane. Furthermore, the averaged traces of Mk are integers that count closed random walks on the line such that each site is visited a number of times multiple of q. We obtain an explicit evaluation for them.

On the Spectra and Pseudospectra of a Class of Non-Self-Adjoint Random Matrices and Operators

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and applied methods for the spectral analysis of non-self-adjoint tridiagonal innite and nite random matrices, and also proposed a sequence of inclusion sets for which they show is convergent to, with the nth element of the sequence computable by calculating smallest singular values of (large numbers of) n n matrices.

Density of states in the non-hermitian lloyd model

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that it is possible to find the localization length from the density of states of a non-Hermitian random Hamiltonian, and that the problem of finding the density in a nonhermitian Hamiltonian remains open.
