Abstract

Consider the Hill's operator Q=d2/dx2+q(x)Q = - d^2/dx^2 + q(x) in which q(x)q(x), 0x10 \le x \le 1, is a White Noise. Denote by f(μ)f(\mu) the probability density function of λ0(q)-\lambda_0(q), the negative of the ground state eigenvalue, at μ\mu. We describe the detailed asymptotics of this density as μ+\mu \to +\infty. This result is based on a precise Laplace analysis of a functional integral representation for f(μ)f(\mu) established by S. Cambronero and H.P. McKean.
