We consider here the case in which the spectrum of $H_{0}$ is such that there is a gap in the average density of eigenvalues of $H$ which is thus split into two pieces. When the spectrum of $H_{0}$ is tuned so that the gap closes, a new class of universality appears for the energy correlations in the vicinity of this singular point.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-04-03T08:27:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random matrix theory", "universal singularity", "hermitian random matrix", "gaussian probability distribution", "non-random hermitian matrix" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
