A determinantal formula for the GOE Tracy-Widom distribution

چکیده
Investigating the long time asymptotics of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process, Sasamoto obtains rather indirectly a formula for the GOE Tracy-Widom distribution. We establish that his novel formula indeed agrees with more standard expressions.

Discrete Polynuclear Growth and Determinantal Processes
We consider a discrete polynuclear growth (PNG) process and prove a functional limit theorem for its convergence to the Airy process. This generalizes previous results by Prähofer and Spohn. The result enables us to express the F1 GOE Tracy-Widom distribution in terms of the Airy process. We also show some results, and give a conjecture, about the transversal fluctuations in a point to line las...
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 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 کاملSymmetrized random permutations
Selecting N random points in a unit square corresponds to selecting a random permutation. Placing symmetry restrictions on the points, we obtain special kinds of permutations : involutions, signed permutations and signed involutions. We are interested in the statistics of the length (in numbers of points) of the longest up/right path in each symmetry type as the number of points increases to in...
متن کاملPolynuclear growth model, GOE and random matrix with deterministic source
We present a random matrix interpretation of the distribution functions which have appeared in the study of the one-dimensional polynuclear growth (PNG) model with external sources. It is shown that the distribution, GOE2, which is defined as the square of the GOE Tracy-Widom distribution, can be obtained as the scaled largest eigenvalue distribution of a special case of a random matrix model w...
