Abstract: We consider the Dyson Ferrari-Spohn diffusion $mathcal{X}^N=(mathcal{X}_1^N,dots,mathcal{X}_N^N)$, consisting of $N$ non-intersecting Ferrari-Spohn diffusions $mathcal{X}_1^N>cdots>mathcal{X}_N^N>0$ on $mathbbR$. This object was introduced by Ioffe, Velenik, and Wachtel (2018) as a scaling limit for line ensembles of $N$ non-intersecting random walks above a hard wall with area tilts, which model certain three-dimensional interfaces in statistical physics. It was shown by Ferrari and Shlosman (2023) that as $Noinfty$, after a spatial shift of order $N^{2/3}$ and constant rescaling in time, the top curve $mathcal{X}_1^N$ converges to the $mathrm{Airy}_2$ process in the sense of finite-dimensional distributions. We extend this result by showing that the full ensemble $mathcal{X}^N$ converges with the same shift and time scaling to the Airy line ensemble in the topology of uniform convergence on compact sets. In our argument we formulate a Brownian Gibbs property with area tilts for $mathcal{X}^N$, which we show is equivalent after a global parabolic shift to the usual Brownian Gibbs property introduced by Corwin and Hammond (2014).
