Abstract
Exact analytical expressions are found for the joint probability distribution functions ofn eigenvalues belonging to a random Hermitian matrix of orderN, wheren is any integer andN→∞. The distribution functions, like those obtained earlier forn=2, involve only trigonometrical functions of the eigenvalue differences.
