Stochastic Airy semigroup through tridiagonal matrices

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We determine the operator limit for large powers of random tridiagonal matrices as the size of the matrix grows. The result provides a novel expression in terms of functionals of Brownian motions for the Laplace transform of the Airy process, which describes the largest eigenvalues in the ensembles of random matrix theory. Another consequence is a Feynman-Kac formula for the stochastic Airy operator of Ram'{i}rez, Rider, and Vir'{a}g. As a side result, we find that the difference between the area underneath a standard Brownian excursion and one half of the integral of its squared local times is a Gaussian random variable.
