Explore the fascinating intersection of spectral theory, geometry, and random matrix theory in this hour-long lecture by Laura Monk from the University of Bristol. Delve into an extension of Rudnick's work on the spectral number variance of Laplacians on compact hyperbolic surfaces. Discover how Monk and collaborator Jens Marklof expand this approach to twisted Laplacians and Dirac operators, demonstrating convergence to different Gaussian Ensembles of random matrix theory. Gain insights into the connections between these mathematical structures and their implications for understanding spectral properties in various contexts. Learn about the significance of breaking time-reversal symmetry and its relation to the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble. Examine how these findings address questions posed by Naud regarding twisted Laplacians on high genus random covers of fixed compact surfaces. Enhance your understanding of advanced topics in mathematical physics and geometry through this comprehensive exploration of moduli spaces and their connections to random matrix theory.
