The real Ginibre ensemble with k = O(n) real eigenvalues

We consider the ensemble of Real Ginibre matrices with a positive fraction $\alpha>0$ of real eigenvalues. We demonstrate a large deviations principle for the joint eigenvalue density of such matrices and we introduce a two phase log-gas whose stationary distribution coincides with the spectral measure of the ensemble. Using these tools we provide an asymptotic expansion for the probability $p^n_{\alpha n}$ that an $n\times n$ Ginibre matrix has $k=\alpha n$ real eigenvalues and we characterize the spectral measures of these matrices.
