Abstract

The probability that all eigenvalues of a product of m independent $$N \times N$$ N × N subblocks of a Haar distributed random real orthogonal matrix of size $$(L_i+N) \times (L_i+N)$$ ( L i + N ) × ( L i + N ) , $$(i=1,\dots ,m)$$ ( i = 1 , ⋯ , m ) are real is calculated as a multidimensional integral, and as a determinant. Both involve Meijer G-functions. Evaluation formulae of the latter, based on a recursive scheme, allow it to be proved that for any m and with each $$L_i$$ L i even the probability is a rational number. The formulae furthermore provide for explicit computation in small order cases.
