Dyson Trace Flow and Multivariate Dynamic Coupled Semicircle Law

Cong Chen, Yong Li

TL;DR

The work introduces the Dyson Trace Flow as a macroscopic stochastic descriptor for eigenvalue dynamics and develops the Multivariate Dynamic Coupled Semicircle Law to describe the evolution of spectral measures under asymmetrical coupling. It establishes well-posedness, large-deviation principles, and a dynamic Burgers-type description for the limiting spectral laws, both in binary and multivariate settings. By incorporating nonlinear and non-reciprocal couplings, the framework reveals universal phenomena such as exceptional points, phase transitions, and holographic connections to quantum gravity, while offering concrete pathways to applications in neural networks, financial networks, and quantum many-body systems. The results unify stochastic analysis, potential theory, and large deviation theory to provide exactly solvable models for interacting random matrices with broad cross-disciplinary relevance and predictive power for complex systems.

Abstract

Interacting random matrix systems are fundamental to modern theoretical physics and data science, yet a unified framework for their analysis has been lacking. This work introduces such a universal framework, built upon two novel concepts: the Dyson Trace Flow characterizing macroscopic fluctuations, and the Multivariate Dynamic Coupled Semicircle Law describing the collective spectral behavior of multiple interacting matrix processes. We establish the stochastic evolution of eigenvalues under asymmetric coupling and prove the mathematical well-posedness of the theory. A large deviation principle is derived, enabling the calculation of rare event probabilities. The framework is extended to nonlinear and non-reciprocal interactions, revealing universal phenomena including exceptional points, bistability, and novel scaling laws. A striking connection to quantum chaos is unveiled through a holographic correspondence with wormhole geometries. By generalizing classical random matrix theory, this work provides powerful tools for understanding neural networks and complex quantum dynamics.

Theorem 1.1

Let $H_1(t), H_2(t), \ldots, H_k(t)$ be $k$ coupled $N \times N$ real symmetric (or complex Hermitian) matrix-valued processes satisfying the following system of stochastic differential equations: where $B_p(t)$ are matrix-valued Brownian motions with the correlation structure: and $\rho_{pp} = 1$. The initial conditions $H_p(0)$ are deterministic symmetric matrices whose empirical spectral dist
