The GOE level-crossing law for real orthogonal matrices

From papers

Let AA and BB be independently chosen from the real Gaussian orthogonal ensemble GOEnRGOE_n^{\mathbb R}, consisting of real symmetric n×nn\times n matrices with the standard GOE distribution. Their branch-point measure is the empirical measure of the n(n1)n(n-1) level crossings of the pencil A+λBA+\lambda B on CP1\mathbb{CP}^1. GOE level-crossing conjecture. For every n3n\geq 3, the branch-point distribution is uniform on CP1\mathbb{CP}^1, with affine density

1π(1+λ2)2dxdy.\frac{1}{\pi(1+|\lambda|^2)^2}\,dx\,dy.

The case n=2n=2 is stated as a theorem in the source; the conjecture extends that conclusion to all higher dimensions.
