  1. Random Universality:Random Matrix Theory and Extreme Value Statistics Universality: a surprising congruence or sharing of properties or characteristics between seemingly unrelated systems, usually attributed to deep underlying truths Sethna / Myers Computational Methods in Nonlinear Science • Central Limit Theorem: The average of several random variables always has the same (normal or Gaussian) universal distribution. • Extreme value statistics: The largest of several random variables always has one of a few (Gumbel, Weibull, Fréchet) universal forms • Random Matrix Theory: large matrices, wherever they come from, have eigenvalues whose spacings have one of a few universal distributions.
