The spectrum of coupled random matricesM. Adler and P. van MoerbekeReview from Zentralblatt MATH: The authors explain ``how the integrable technology can be brought to bear to gain insight into the nature of the distribution of the spectrum of coupled Hermitian random matrices and the equations the associated probabilities satisfy''. In the Gaussian case the distribution of $M_i$, $i=1,2$, is proportional to $$\exp\bigl \{-T_r (M^2_1+ M^2_2-2cM_1M_2) \bigr\}$$ where the $M_i$ are $n\times n$ matrices. The topics described involve bi-orthogonal polynomials, two-Toda lattice, vertex operators, Virasoro algebra and many others.
