Abstract

We give a proof of the Universality Conjecture for orthogonal (β=1) and symplectic (β=4) random matrix ensembles of Laguerre-type in the bulk of the spectrum as well as at the hard and soft spectral edges. Our results are stated precisely in the Introduction (Theorems 1.1, 1.4, 1.6 and Corollaries 1.2, 1.5, 1.7). They concern the appropriately rescaled kernels K n, β, correlation and cluster functions, gap probabilities and the distributions of the largest and smallest eigenvalues. Corresponding results for unitary (β=2) Laguerre-type ensembles have been proved by the fourth author in Ref. 23. The varying weight case at the hard spectral edge was analyzed in Ref. 13 for β=2: In this paper we do not consider varying weights. Our proof follows closely the work of the first two authors who showed in Refs. 7, 8 analogous results for Hermite-type ensembles. As in Refs. 7, 8 we use the version of the orthogonal polynomial method presented in Refs. 22, 25, to analyze the local eigenvalue statistics. The necessary asymptotic information on the Laguerre-type orthogonal polynomials is taken from Ref. 23.
