An overview of the history of random matrix theory (RMT) is provided in this chapter. Starting from its inception, the authors sketch the history of RMT until about 1990, focusing their attention on the first four decades of RMT. Later developments are partially covered. In the past 20 years RMT has experienced rapid development and has expanded into a number of areas of physics and mathematics.

Physical Problems

Originally, random matrix theory (RMT) was designed by Wigner to deal with the statistics of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of complex many-body quantum systems in 1950s. During the last two decades, the RMT underwent an unexpected and rapid development: The RMT has been successfully applied to an ever increasing variety of physical problems, and it has become an important tool to attack many-body problems. In this contribution I briefly outline the development of the RMT and introduce its basics. Its application to the decay out of a Superdeformed band and a comparison of the approach used in Ref. 34 with that proposed by Vigezzi et al are presented. Current theoretical activities on the decay out problem are reviewed, and the influence of the degree of chaoticity of the normally deformed states on the decay out intensity is examined systematically.
