Discrete Tracy–widom Operators
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract Integrable operators arise in random matrix theory, where they describe the asymptotic eigenvalue distribution of large self-adjoint random matrices from the generalized unitary ensembles. This paper considers discrete Tracy–Widom operators, and gives sufficient conditions for a discrete integrable operator to be the square of a Hankel matrix. Examples include the discrete Bessel kernel and kernels arising from the almost Mathieu equation and the Fourier transform of Mathieu’s equation.

Operators Associated with Soft and Hard Spectral Edges from Unitary Ensembles
Abstract. Using Hankel operators and shift-invariant subspaces on Hilbert space, this paper develops the theory of the operators associated with soft and hard edges of eigenvalue distributions of random matrices. Tracy and Widom introduced a projection operator W to describe the soft edge of the spectrum of the Gaussian unitary ensemble. The subspace WL is simply invariant under the translation...
متن کاملAsymptotics of Tracy-Widom distributions and the total integral of a Painlevé II function
The Tracy-Widom distribution functions involve integrals of a Painlevé II function starting from positive infinity. In this paper, we express the Tracy-Widom distribution functions in terms of integrals starting from minus infinity. There are two consequences of these new representations. The first is the evaluation of the total integral of the Hastings-McLeod solution of the Painlevé II equati...
متن کاملFredholm Determinants and the mKdV / Sinh - Gordon Hierarchies
For a particular class of integral operators K we show that the quantity φ := log det (I + K)log det (/ K) satisfies both the integrated mKdV hierarchy and the Sinh-Gordon hierarchy. This proves a conjecture of Zamolodchikov.
متن کاملFrom Gumbel to Tracy-Widom
The Tracy-Widom distribution that has been much studied in recent years can be thought of as an extreme value distribution. We discuss interpolation between the classical extreme value distribution exp(− exp(−x)), the Gumbel distribution, and the Tracy-Widom distribution. There is a family of determinantal processes whose edge behaviour interpolates between a Poisson process with density exp(−x...
متن کاملThe Prolate Spheroidal Phenomenon and Bispectral Algebras of Ordinary Differential Operators
Landau, Pollak, Slepian, and Tracy, Widom discovered that certain integral operators with so called Bessel and Airy kernels possess commuting differential operators and found important applications of this phenomenon in time-band limiting and random matrix theory. In this paper we announce that very large classes of integral operators derived from bispectral algebras of rank 1 and 2 (parametriz...
