Powers of Ginibre Eigenvalues

We study the images of the complex Ginibre eigenvalues under the power maps ${\pi }_M:z\mapsto z^M$, for any integer $M$. We establish the following equality in distribution, $$\mathrm{G}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{n}(N{)}^M\bigcup _{k=1}^M\mathrm{G}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{n}(N,M,k),$$ where the so-called Power-Ginibre distributions $\mathrm{G}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{n}(N,M,k)$ form $M$ independent determinantal point processes. The decomposition can be extended to any radially symmetric normal matrix ensemble, and generalizes Rains’ superposition theorem for the CUE and Kostlan’s independence of radii to a wider class of point processes. Our proof technique also allows us to recover a result by Edelman and La Croix for the GUE. Concerning the Power-Ginibre blocks, we prove convergence of fluctuations of their smooth linear statistics to independent gaussian variables, coherent with the link between the complex Ginibre Ensemble and the Gaussian Free Field. Finally, some partial results about two-dimensional beta ensembles with radial symmetry and even parameter $\beta$ are discussed, replacing independence by conditional independence.
