Tightness of Bernoulli Gibbsian line ensembles

Abstract: A Bernoulli Gibbsian line ensemble

m a t h f r a k L = (L_{1}, d o t s, L_{N})

is the law of the trajectories of

N - 1

independent Bernoulli random walkers

L_{1}, d o t s, L_{N - 1}

with possibly random initial and terminal locations that are conditioned to never cross each other or a given random up-right path

L_{N}

(i.e.

L_{1} g e q c d o t s g e q L_{N}

). In this paper we investigate the asymptotic behavior of sequences of Bernoulli Gibbsian line ensembles

m a t h f r a k L^{N} = (L_{1}^{N}, d o t s, L_{N}^{N})

when the number of walkers

N

tends to infinity. We prove that if one has mild but uniform control of the one-point marginals of the lowest-indexed (or top) curves

L_{1}^{N}

then the sequence

m a t h f r a k L^{N}

is tight in the space of line ensembles. Furthermore, we show that if the top curves

L_{1}^{N}

converge in the finite dimensional sense to the parabolic Airy

_{2}

process then

m a t h f r a k L^{N}

converge to the parabolically shifted Airy line ensemble.
