Log-gases and random matrices

"Random matrix theory, both as an application and as theory, has evolved rapidly over the past fifteen years. [This book] gives a comprehensive account of these developments, emphasizing log-gases as a physical picture and heuristic, as well as covering topics such as beta ensembles and Jack po...
