Matrix kernels for the Gaussian orthogonal and symplectic ensembles. (Q2574205)

The edge scaling of the largest eigenvalue for the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) and the Gaussian symplectic ensemble (GSE) are considered. The edge-scalled kernels are already known, but limit theorems in the operator norms that give convergence of the determinats are not. For GSE convergence in trace norm to a limiting operator is established. For GOE using weighted Hilbert spaces and an extension of the determinant involving the regularized 2-determinant and convergence to operator \(K_{\text{GOE}}\) in a combination of Hilbert-Schmidt and trace norms, the convergence of the determinants is proved.
