A Borodin-Okounkov-Geronimo-Case identity for tilted Toeplitz minors
Abstract
We prove a Fredholm determinantal identity for the tilted Toeplitz minor generalizing the Borodin-Okounkov-Geronimo-Case (BOGC) identity to oblique splittings of the Hardy space. The tilts enter only through an oblique projection that multiplies the trace-class kernel inside the Fredholm determinant; the BOGC operator constructed from is unchanged. Baik-Liao-Liu (arXiv:2603.01964) and Liu-Tripathi (arXiv:2604.24747) have recently shown that the same tilted Toeplitz minor admits a contour Fredholm-determinantal representation, in connection with the periodic Totally Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (TASEP). In the periodic TASEP application of Baik-Liao-Liu, the formula plays an important role in identifying the periodic KPZ fixed point with general initial data. Our formula is a companion to their Fredholm determinant and readily reduces to the original BOGC identity. The one-sided tilted Toeplitz minor (that is, when all ) admits a bialternant form recovering Schur and Grothendieck polynomials as special cases. A Cauchy-Binet expansion realizes as a restricted sum over partitions of products of Jacobi-Trudi type determinants, generalizing Gessel's theorem. In the pure-shift setting this specializes to a skew Schur expansion. Finally, for finite Laurent exponential symbols, we record explicit resolvent-block flow identities and formulate the associated finite-dimensional closure problem. We also illustrate a possible asymptotic application leading to finite-rank perturbations of the Airy kernel.
