We derive Sasamoto's Fredholm determinant formula for the Tracy-Widom GOE distribution, as well as the one-point marginal distribution of the Airy 2→1 process, originally derived by Borodin-Ferrari-Sasamoto, as scaling limits of point-to-line and point-to-half-line directed last passage percolation with exponentially distributed waiting times. The asymptotic analysis goes through new expressions for the last passage times in terms of integrals of (the continuous analog of) symplectic and classical Schur functions, obtained recently in [BZ19a].2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.

Point-to-line directed last passage percolation, Tracy-Widom GOE distribution, Airy 2→1 , Schur functions, symplectic Schur functions. † Notice that (1.11) and (1.12) have now been obtained directly via the standard Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence, avoiding the route of the zero temperature limit, see [Bis18,BZ19b].
