The Wigner semicircle distribution , named after the physicist Eugene Wigner , is the probability distribution supported on the interval [−R , R ] the graph of whose probability density function f is a semicircle of radius R centered at (0, 0) and then suitably normalized (so that it is really a semi-ellipse):

2
{\displaystyle f(x)={2 \over \pi R^{2}}{\sqrt {R^{2}-x^{2}\,}}\,}
for −R ≤ x ≤ R , and f (x ) = 0 if |x| > R .
This distribution arises as the limiting distribution of eigenvalues of many random symmetric matrices as the size of the matrix approaches infinity.
It is a scaled beta distribution , more precisely, if Y is beta distributed with parameters α = β = 3/2, then X = 2RY – R has the above Wigner semicircle distribution.
A higher-dimensional generalization is a parabolic distribution in three dimensional space, namely the marginal distribution function of a spherical (parametric) distribution[1] [2]

Note that R=1.
General properties The Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind are orthogonal polynomials with respect to the Wigner semicircle distribution.

C
n
{\displaystyle E(X^{2n})=\left({R \over 2}\right)^{2n}C_{n}\,}
where X is any random variable with this distribution and C n n th Catalan number

=

{\displaystyle C_{n}={1 \over n+1}{2n \choose n},\,}
so that the moments are the Catalan numbers if R = 2. (Because of symmetry, all of the odd-order moments are zero.)

Relation to free probability In free probability theory, the role of Wigner's semicircle distribution is analogous to that of the normal distribution in classical probability theory. Namely,
in free probability theory, the role of cumulants is occupied by "free cumulants", whose relation to ordinary cumulants is simply that the role of the set of all partitions of a finite set in the theory of ordinary cumulants is replaced by the set of all noncrossing partitions of a finite set. Just as the cumulants of degree more than 2 of a probability distribution are all zero if and only if the distribution is normal, so also, the free cumulants of degree more than 2 of a probability distribution are all zero if and only if the distribution is Wigner's semicircle distribution.

Characteristic function spherical distribution The characteristic function of a spherical distribution becomes the pattern multiplication of the expected values of the distributions in X, Y and Z.
The parabolic wigner distribution is also considered the monopole moment of the hydrogen like atomic orbitals.
