TLDR
Any linear statistic defined on a random-matrix ensemble is shown to be Gaussian distributed, which supports the prediction of weak-disorder perturbation theory in the diffusive, metallic limit for the distribution of conductance.
Abstract
Any linear statistic defined on a random-matrix ensemble is shown to be Gaussian distributed. This supports the prediction of weak-disorder perturbation theory in the diffusive, metallic limit for the distribution of conductance, since conductance is a linear statistic on the ensemble of transfer matrices.

On fluctuations of eigenvalues of random Hermitian matrices

TL;DR: In this article, a surface-receptive polyvinyl fluoride film with an adhesive/printing ink vehicle composition comprising an organic solvent solution of (1) a vinyl polymer having attached to the main chain of monovalent radicals of the formula wherein Z is a tetravalent aliphatic hydrocarbon radical of 2 or 3 carbon atoms, R is H or C 1 -C 8 alkyl, R 1 is H, OH or c 1-C 8 non-tertiary alkyls, and R 11 is H/C 1 −C 8

Mesoscopic transport through chaotic cavities: A random S -matrix theory approach

TL;DR: It is found that the conductance fluctuation and weak-localization magnitudes are universal: they are independent of the size and shape of the cavity if the number of incoming modes, N, is large.

Asymptotic Performance of Linear Receivers in MIMO Fading Channels

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the error probability for fixed high-signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) regime in terms of the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT).

Universality of level correlation function of sparse random matrices

TL;DR: The statistical properties of sparse random matrices ensembles are investigated by means of a supersymmetric approach with the use of a functional generalization of the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation and the method is shown to be absolutely equivalent to the replica trick.

Second order freeness and fluctuations of random matrices: II. Unitary random matrices

TL;DR: In this article, the relation between random matrices and free probability theory was extended from the level of expectations to a level of fluctuations, and the concept of second order freeness was introduced to understand global fluctuations of Haar distributed unitary random matrix.
