Distribution of complex eigenvalues for symplectic ensembles of non-Hermitian matrices

A symplectic ensemble of disordered non-Hermitian Hamiltonians is studied. Starting from a model with an imaginary magnetic field, we derive a proper supermatrix icons/Journals/Common/sigma" ALT="sigma" ALIGN="TOP"/>-model. The zero-dimensional version of this model corresponds to a symplectic ensemble of weakly non-Hermitian matrices. We derive analytically an explicit expression for the density of complex eigenvalues. This function proves to differ qualitatively from those known for the unitary and orthogonal ensembles. In contrast to these cases, a depletion of the eigenvalues occurs near the real axis. The result about the depletion is in agreement with a previous numerical study performed for QCD models.
