Abstract:
A nonlinear equation generalizing the form of the Painlevé V
equation is used
to compute the probability density function for the distance from an eigenvalue
of a matrix from the GUE ensemble to the eigenvalue nearest to it. (The
classical results concern distribution of the distances between consecutive
eigenvalues.) Comparisons are made with the corresponding distribution for zeros
of the Riemann zeta function, which are conjectured to behave like
eigenvalues of large random GUE matrices.
