Higher order analogues of the Tracy-Widom distribution and the Painlevé II hierarchy
نویسنده
چکیده
We study Fredholm determinants related to a family of kernels which describe the edge eigenvalue behavior in unitary random matrix models with critical edge points. The kernels are natural higher order analogues of the Airy kernel and are built out of functions associated with the Painlevé I hierarchy. The Fredholm determinants related to those kernels are higher order generalizations of the TracyWidom distribution. We give an explicit expression for the determinants in terms of a distinguished smooth solution to the Painlevé II hierarchy. In addition we compute large gap asymptotics for the Fredholm determinants.

Asymptotics 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 کاملLargest Eigenvalues and Sample Covariance Matrices. Tracy-widom and Painlevé Ii: Computational Aspects and Realization in S-plus with Applications
Distributions of the largest eigenvalues of Wishart covariance matrices corresponding to the large size data matrices are studied in this paper by reviewing the most recent results on this topic. Special attention is paid to the corresponding asymptotic laws – Tracy-Widom distributions, and their realizations in S-Plus. A further look at the practical aspects of the results studied in the paper...
متن کاملAsymptotics for the Covariance of the Airy 2 Process
In this paper we compute some of the higher order terms in the asymptotic behavior of the two point function P(A2(0)≤ s1,A2(t)≤ s2), extending the previous work of Adler and van Moerbeke (arXiv:math.PR/0302329; Ann. Probab. 33, 1326–1361, 2005) and Widom (J. Stat. Phys. 115, 1129–1134, 2004). We prove that it is possible to represent any order asymptotic approximation as a polynomial and integr...
متن کاملAiry Kernel and Painlevé II
We prove that the distribution function of the largest eigenvalue in the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) in the edge scaling limit is expressible in terms of Painlevé II. Our goal is to concentrate on this important example of the connection between random matrix theory and integrable systems, and in so doing to introduce the newcomer to the subject as a whole. We also give sketches of the resu...
متن کاملPainlevé transcendent evaluation of the scaled distribution of the smallest eigenvalue in the Laguerre orthogonal and symplectic ensembles
The scaled distribution of the smallest eigenvalue in the Laguerre orthogonal and symplectic ensembles is evaluated in terms of a Painlevé V transcendent. This same Painlevé V transcendent is known from the work of Tracy and Widom, where it has been shown to specify the scaled distribution of the smallest eigenvalue in the Laguerre unitary ensemble. The starting point for our calculation is the...
