Investigations concerning random Morse functions led me to the following problem. Consider the classical GOE of $m\times m$ real symmetric matrices $A$ with independent Gaussian entries with zero means and variances $$ E(a_{ii}^2)=2 E(a_{ij}^2)= 2 $$ for all $i \neq j$. I have two questions (a) Consider the moment generating function function $$ F_m(x) = E_{GOE}\bigl( e^{ tr( xA) } \bigr), $$ $x$ real. What can one say about the behavior of $F_m(x)$ as $m\rightarrow \infty$. (b) Similarly, consider the characteristic function $$ G_m(x) = E_{GOE}\bigl( e^{ \sqrt{-1} tr( xA) } \bigr), $$ $x$ real. What can one say about the behavior of $G_m(x)$ as $m\rightarrow \infty$. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
