Abstract: (APS)
A previously unnoticed group structure for the transfer matrices of mesoscopic systems is identified. From the invariant measure for this group and a maximum entropy ansatz we derive the Laguerre ensemble of random matrices. A comparison with the Hofstadter model shows that the Laguerre ensemble provides a quantitative description of scattering in mesoscopic systems under applied magnetic fields.
