This paper is concerned with certain connections between the ensemble of n x n unitary matrices -- specifically the characteristic function of the random variable tr(U) -- and combinatorics -- specifically Ulam's problem concerning the…

The focus of this survey paper is on the distribution function for the largest eigenvalue in the finite N Gaussian ensembles (GOE,GUE,GSE) in the edge scaling limit of N->infinity. These limiting distribution functions are expressible in…
The Tracy-Widom distribution functions involve integrals of a Painlev\'e II function starting from positive infinity. In this paper, we express the Tracy-Widom distribution functions in terms of integrals starting from minus infinity. There…
