Abstract: We consider the spatial quantum and thermal fluctuations of non-interacting Fermi gases of $N$ particles confined in $d$-dimensional non-smooth potentials. We first present a thorough study of the spherically symmetric pure hard-box potential, with vanishing potential inside the box, both at $T=0$ and $T>0$. We find that the correlations near the wall are described by a "hard edge" kernel, which depend both on $d$ and $T$, and which is different from the "soft edge" Airy kernel, and its higher $d$ generalizations, found for smooth potentials. We extend these results to the case where the potential is non-uniform inside the box, and find that there exists a family of kernels which interpolate between the above "hard edge" kernel and the "soft edge" kernels. Finally, we consider one-dimensional singular potentials of the form $V(x)sim|x{|}^{-gamma}$ with $gamma>0$. We show that the correlations close to the singularity at $x=0$ are described by this "hard edge" kernel for $1leqgamma<2$ while they are described by a broader family of "hard edge" kernels known as the Bessel kernel for $gamma=2$ and, finally by the Airy kernel for $gamma>2$. These one-dimensional kernels also appear in random matrix theory, and we provide here the mapping between the $1d$ fermion models and the corresponding random matrix ensembles. Part of these results were announced in a recent Letter, EPL 120, 10006 (2017).
