Shape fluctuations and random matrices

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study a certain random groeth model in two dimensions closely related to the one-dimensional totally asymmetric exclusion process. The results show that the shape fluctuations, appropriately scaled, converges in distribution to the Tracy-Widom largest eigenvalue distribution for the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble.


In a series of important problems in probability theory and combinatorics the variables of interest can be expressed in terms of Fredholm determinants. Asymptotic properties of the expressions of this type are deeply studied in the spectral theory of large random matrices. It is shown that certain characteristics of the random growth model asymptotically coincide with the distribution of the maximal eigenvalues of the ensemble of \(N\)-dimensional Hermitian matrices whose entries are jointly independent Gaussian random variables.
