Abstract: In this paper, we study the Hankel determinant generated by a singularly perturbed Gaussian weight w(x,t)=mathrm{e}^{-x^{2}-frac{t}{x^{2}}},;;xin(-infty, infty),;;t>0. By using the ladder operator approach associated with the orthogonal polynomials, we show that the logarithmic derivative of the Hankel determinant satisfies both a non-linear second order difference equation and a non-linear second order differential equation. The Hankel determinant also admits an integral representation involving a Painlev'e III′. Furthermore, we consider the asymptotics of the Hankel determinant under a double scaling, i.e. nightarrowinfty and tightarrow0 such that s=(2n+1)t is fixed. The asymptotic expansions of the scaled Hankel determinant for large s and small s are established, from which Dyson's constant appears.
