Random matrices, fractional statistics, and the quantum Hall effect
Abstract
The fractional-statistics Laughlin picture of the quantum Hall effect is reformulated as a random-matrix problem. This reformulation connects two large sets of results, and should lead to simplifications for both analytical and numerical studies.
