Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe asymptotic formulas for determinants of certain operators that are analogues of Wiener-Hopf operators. The determinant formulas yield information about the distribution functions for certain random variables that arise in random matrix theory when one rescales at the edge of the spectrum.
