Integrable Systems and Random Matrix Theory
Fluctuations of the free energy of spherical Sherrington--Kirkpatrik model
The free energy of a special case of the model in the title is a finite temperature version of the largest eigenvalue of random matrix. We will begin with some background on the spherical Sherrington--Kirkpatrik model and then discuss how the results on random matrix theory can be used to study the free energy.
