Large gap asymptotics for Airy kernel determinants with discontinuities

Abstract

We obtain large gap asymptotics for Airy kernel Fredholm determinants with any number mm of discontinuities. These mm-point determinants are generating functions for the Airy point process and encode probabilistic information about eigenvalues near soft edges in random matrix ensembles. Our main result is that the mm-point determinants can be expressed asymptotically as the product of mm 11-point determinants, multiplied by an explicit constant pre-factor which can be interpreted in terms of the covariance of the counting function of the process.
