A Gaussian integral over complex variables by a defined Green's function for a Gaussian ensemble of random matrix

We construct an $N\times N$ matrix $J$ whose elements are drawn from Gaussian distribution with zero mean and variance $\frac{1}{N}$. Since we want to have different variances for different columns, ...
