Such processes are formed by singular values of random matrix products, and the number of factors in the random matrix product plays a role of a discrete time. We consider in detail the case when the (squared) singular values of the initial random matrix form a polynomial ensemble, and the initial random matrix is multiplied by standard complex Gaussian matrices. In this case we show that the random process is a discrete-time determinantal point process. For three special cases (the case when the initial random matrix is a standard complex Gaussian matrix, the case when it is a truncated unitary matrix, or the case when it is a standard complex Gaussian matrix with a source) we compute the dynamical correlations functions explicitly, and find the hard edge scaling limits of the correlation kernels. The proofs rely on the Eynard-Mehta theorem, and on contour integral representations for the correlation kernels suitable for an asymptotic analysis.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-05-11T07:55:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "standard complex gaussian matrix", "dynamical correlation functions", "random process", "correlation kernels", "random matrix product plays" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150502511S" } } }
