Abstract

We study the Sineβ_\beta process, the bulk point process scaling limit of beta-ensembles. We provide a representation of its pair correlation function for all β>0\beta>0 via a stochastic differential equation. We show that the pair correlation function is continuous in β\beta, and provide estimates for its asymptotic decay. We recover the classical explicit formula for the pair correlation function in the β=2\beta=2 and 44 cases. For β=2n\beta=2n, we derive the power series expansion of the pair correlation function, and express it in terms of a size nn linear ordinary differential equation system. We obtain our results by studying the density of the HPβ,δ\operatorname{HP}_{\beta,\delta} process, the point process limit of the circular Jacobi beta-ensembles.
