We consider the Gaussian unitary ensemble perturbed by a Fisher-Hartwig singularity simultaneously of both root type and jump type. In the critical regime where the singularity approaches the soft edge, namely, the edge of the support of…
We describe a new universality class for unitary invariant random matrix ensembles. It arises in the double scaling limit of ensembles of random $n \times n$ Hermitian matrices $Z_{n,N}^{-1} |\det M|^{2\alpha} e^{-N \Tr V(M)} dM$ with…

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…
