Eigenphase distributions of unimodular circular ensembles

Motivated by the study of Polyakov lines in gauge theories, Hanada and Watanabe recently presented a conjectured formula for the distribution of eigenphases of Haar-distributed random SU(N) matrices (β = 2), supported by explicit examples at small N and by numerical samplings at larger N. In this le...

Summary:Motivated by the study of Polyakov lines in gauge theories, Hanada and Watanabe recently presented a conjectured formula for the distribution of eigenphases of Haar-distributed random SU(N) matrices (β = 2), supported by explicit examples at small N and by numerical samplings at larger N. In this letter, I spell out a concise proof of their formula, and present its orthogonal and symplectic counterparts, i.e. the eigenphase distributions of Haar-random unimodular symmetric (β = 1) and selfdual (β = 4) unitary matrices parametrizing SU(N)/SO(N) and SU(2N)/Sp(2N), respectively.
