Abstract

FINDING: The search results converge on the deep connection between the Vandermonde determinant (squared) and the eigenvalue density of Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) matrices, which is the same structure governing the statistical distribution of Riemann zeta zeros. | MATH: The GUE eigenvalue joint density is \( P(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_N) \propto \prod_{i \lambda_2 > \dots > \lambda_N \), where the density is supported. The Wigner semicircle law emerges as \( N \to \infty \): \( \rho(\lambda) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{4 - \lambda^2} \) for \( \lambda \in [-2,2] \). | CONNECTION: The \( A_{N-1} \) root system is the symmetry of the \( N \)-simplex — its Weyl chamber volume is exactly the Vandermonde product.
