We consider large Hermitian matrices whose entries are defined by
evaluating the exponential function along orbits of the skew-shift
()
for
irrational
.
We prove that the eigenvalue distribution of these matrices converges to the
corresponding distribution from random matrix theory on the global scale, namely,
the Wigner semicircle law for square matrices and the Marchenko–Pastur law for
rectangular matrices. The results evidence the quasirandom nature of the skew-shift
dynamics which was observed in other contexts by Bourgain, Goldstein and Schlag
and Rudnick, Sarnak and Zaharescu.
