An Update on Local Universality Limits for Correlation Functions Generated by Unitary Ensembles

Abstract

Abstract. We survey the current status of universality limits for m-point correlation functions in the bulk and at the edge for unitary ensembles, primarily when the limiting kernels are Airy, Bessel, or Sine kernels. In particular, we consider underlying measures on compact intervals, and fixed and varying exponential weights, as well as universality limits for a variety of orthogonal systems. The scope of the survey is quite narrow: we do not consider β ensembles for β = 2, nor general Hermitian matrices with independent entries, let alone more general settings. We include some open problems.

Boundaries of sine kernel universality for Gaussian perturbations of Hermitian matrices

“…where φ n (z, u) = n 2t n (z − x * tn − ε n u) 2 + 2t n g µn (z) , 34 γ n consists of the graph y tn,µn and its complex conjugate (positively oriented), and…”

Asymptotic Behaviour of Christoffel–Darboux Kernel Via Three-Term Recurrence Relation I

“…To motivate the study of Christoffel-Darboux kernels see surveys [12] and [19]. The asymptotic behavior of K n is well understood in the case when the measure μ has compact support.…”

Spectral Properties of Block Jacobi Matrices

“…In the scalar case, it provides exact asymptotics of the so-called Christoffel functions, which have applications, e.g., in random matrix theory (see [22]) or signal processing (see [15]). We believe that in the operator case, it will also have some applications.…”
