Characteristic polynomials of random Hermitian matrices and Duistermaat-Heckman localisation on non-compact Kaehler manifolds

We reconsider the problem of calculating a general spectral correlation function containing an arbitrary number of products and ratios of characteristic polynomials for a NxN random matrix taken from the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE). Deviating from the standard 'supersymmetry' approach, we integrate out Grassmann variables at the early stage and circumvent the use of the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation in the 'bosonic' sector. The method, suggested recently by J.V. Fyodorov [Nucl. Phys. B 621 [PM] (2002) 643], is shown to be capable of calculation when reinforced with a generalisation of the Itzykson-Zuber integral to a non-compact integration manifold. We arrive to such a generalisation by discussing the Duistermaat-Heckman localisation principle for integrals over non-compact homogeneous Kaehler manifolds. In the limit of large-N the asymptotic expression for the correlation function reproduces the result outlined earlier by A.V. Andreev and B.D. Simons [Phys. Rev. Lett. 75 (1995) 2304]
