text: The Wigner-Dyson-Gaudin-Mehta conjecture asserts that the local eigenvalue
statistics of large random matrices exhibit universal behavior depending only
on the symmetry class of the matrix ensemble. For invariant matrix models, the
eigenvalue distributions are given by a log-gas with potential V and inverse temperature
β = 1, 2, 4, corresponding to the orthogonal, unitary and symplectic ensembles.
For β ∉ {1, 2, 4}, there is no natural random matrix ensemble behind this model,
but the statistical physics interpretation of the log-gas is still valid for all
β > 0. The universality conjecture for invariant ensembles asserts that the
local eigenvalue statistics are independent of V. In this article, we review our
recent solution to the universality conjecture for both invariant and non-invariant
ensembles. We will also demonstrate that the local ergodicity of the Dyson Brownian
motion is the intrinsic mechanism behind the universality. Furthermore, we review
the solution of Dyson's conjecture on the local relaxation time of the Dyson Brownian
motion. Related questions such as delocalization of eigenvectors and local version
of Wigner's semicircle law will also be discussed.
