Abstract

The Airyβ_\beta point process, originally introduced by Ram\'irez, Rider, and Vir\'ag, is defined as the spectrum of the stochastic Airy operator Hβ\mathcal{H}_\beta acting on a subspace of L2[0,)L^2[0,\infty) with Dirichlet boundary condition. In this paper we study the coupled family of point processes defined as the eigenvalues of Hβ\mathcal{H}_\beta acting on a subspace of L2[t,)L^2[t,\infty). These point processes are coupled through the Brownian term of Hβ\mathcal{H}_\beta. We show that these point processes as a function of tt are differentiable with explicitly computable derivative. Moreover when recentered by tt the resulting point process is stationary. This process can also be viewed as an analogue to the 'GUE minor process' in the tridiagonal setting.
