Asymptotics of Fredholm determinant associated with the Pearcey kernel

Abstract: The Pearcey kernel is a classical and universal kernel arising from random matrix theory, which describes the local statistics of eigenvalues when the limiting mean eigenvalue density exhibits a cusp-like singularity. It appears in a variety of statistical physics models beyond matrix models as well. We consider the Fredholm determinant of a trace class operator acting on L2left(−s,sight) with the Pearcey kernel. Based on a steepest descent analysis for a 3imes3 matrix-valued Riemann-Hilbert problem, we obtain asymptotics of the Fredholm determinant as so+infty, which is also interpreted as large gap asymptotics in the context of random matrix theory.


The Pearcey kernel is a classical and universal kernel arising from random matrix theory, which describes the local statistics of eigenvalues when the limiting mean eigenvalue density exhibits a cusp-like singularity. It appears in a variety of statistical physics models beyond matrix models as well. The authors consider the Fredholm determinant of a trace class operator acting on \(L^2 (s,s)\) with the Pearcey kernel. Based on a steepest descent analysis for a \(3 \times 3\) matrix-valued Riemann-Hilbert problem, it is obtained asymptotics of the Fredholm determinant as \(s \rightarrow +\infty,\) which is also interpreted as large gap asymptotics in the context of random matrix theory.
