We show that near a point where the equilibrium density of eigenvalues of a matrix model behaves like y ~ x^{p/q}, the correlation functions of a random matrix, are, to leading order in the appropriate scaling, given by determinants of the…

We consider a suitable extension of the complex Airy operator, $-d^2/dx^2 + ix$, on the real line with a transmission boundary condition at the origin. We provide a rigorous definition of this operator and study its spectral properties. In…

We compute the asymptotic eigenvalue distribution of the neural tangent kernel of a two-layer neural network under a specific scaling of dimension. Namely, if $X\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times d}$ is an i.i.d random matrix, $W\in\mathbb{R}^{d\times…

We show that, for non-interacting fermions under a monochromatic phase drive (Tien--Gordon regime), the outgoing sideband occupations at a sharp Fermi edge are governed by the discrete Bessel kernel -- an exact result at any drive…

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…

In the present paper, we study the asymptotics of the Fredholm determinant $D(x,s)$ of the finite-temperature deformation of the sine kernel, which represents the probability that there is no particles on the interval $(-x/\pi,x/\pi)$ in…
