We review the development of random-matrix theory (RMT) during the last decade. We emphasize both the theoretical aspects, and the application of the theory to a number of fields. These comprise chaotic and disordered systems, the localization problem, many-body quantum systems, the Calogero-Sutherland model, chiral symmetry breaking in QCD, and quantum gravity in two dimensions. The review is preceded by a brief historical survey of the developments of RMT and of localization theory since their inception. We emphasize the concepts common to the above-mentioned fields as well as the great diversity of RMT. In view of the universality of RMT, we suggest that the current development signals the emergence of a new "statistical mechanics": Stochasticity and general symmetry requirements lead to universal laws not based on dynamical principles.

  1. Controlled Chaos in 4D SCFTs

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Orbifolds of N=4 SYM produce SCFTs whose dilatation operator in a subsector is realized by a tunable spin chain whose eigenvalue statistics exhibit chaos for specific marginal couplings.

  2. Signatures of Quantum Chaos in the D1D5 System

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Finite-N non-planar mixing in the D1D5 CFT produces level repulsion and random-matrix statistics in symmetry-resolved sectors, while the planar large-N limit yields Poisson statistics.
