Discrete Derivative Asymptotics of the $\beta$-Hermite Eigenvalues

Probability 2019-01-30 v3

Abstract

We consider the asymptotics of the difference between the empirical measures of the β\beta-Hermite tridiagonal matrix and its minor. We prove that this difference has a deterministic limit and Gaussian fluctuations. Through a correspondence between measures and continual Young diagrams, this deterministic limit is identified with the Vershik-Kerov-Logan-Shepp curve. Moreover, the Gaussian fluctuations are identified with a sectional derivative of the Gaussian free field.
