For a wide class of Hermitian random matrices, the limit distribution of the eigenvalues close to the largest one is governed by the Airy point process. In such ensembles, the limit distribution of the k-th largest eigenvalue is given in…
We undertake an analysis of Fredholm determinants arising from kernels whose defining functions satisfy a Schr\"odinger type equation. When this defining function is the Airy one, the evaluation of the corresponding Fredholm determinant…

The Tracy-Widom distributions are among the most famous laws in probability theory, partly due to their connection with Wigner matrices. In particular, for $A=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}(a_{ij})_{1 \leq i,j \leq n} \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$…
In this paper, we are concerned with higher-order analogues of the Tracy-Widom distribution, which describe the eigenvalue distributions in unitary random matrix models near critical edge points. The associated kernels are constructed by…
Let $A$ and $B$ be independent, central Wishart matrices in $p$ variables with common covariance and having $m$ and $n$ degrees of freedom, respectively. The distribution of the largest eigenvalue of $(A+B)^{-1}B$ has numerous applications…
We express the gap probabilities of the tacnode process as the ratio of two Fredholm determinants; the denominator is the standard Tracy-Widom distribution, while the numerator is the Fredholm determinant of a very explicit kernel…
Some significant quantities in mathematics and physics are most naturally expressed as the Fredholm determinant of an integral operator, most notably many of the distribution functions in random matrix theory. Though their numerical values…
We determine the limiting distribution of the largest eigenvalue of products from the $\beta$-Laguerre ensemble. This limiting distribution is given by a Tracy-Widom law with parameter $\beta_0>0$ depending on the ratio of the parameters of…
We consider sample covariance matrices of the form $\mathcal{Q}=(\Sigma^{1/2}X)(\Sigma^{1/2} X)^*$, where the sample $X$ is an $M\times N$ random matrix whose entries are real independent random variables with variance $1/N$ and where…

These lectures present a survey of recent developments in the area of random matrices (finite and infinite) and random permutations. These probabilistic problems suggest matrix integrals (or Fredholm determinants), which arise very…
The Tracy-Widom beta distribution is the large dimensional limit of the top eigenvalue of beta random matrix ensembles. We use the stochastic Airy operator representation to show that as a tends to infinity the tail of the Tracy Widom…
