Level-spacing distributions and the Airy kernel [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Scaling level-spacing distribution functions in the "bulk of the spectrum" in random matrix models of N × N hermitian matrices and then going to the limit N → ∞, leads to the Fredholm determinant of the sine kernel sin π (x - y)/π(x - y). Similarly a double scaling limit at the "edge of the spectrum" leads to the Airy kernel [Ai(x)Ai′(y) - Ai′(x)Ai(y)]/(x-y). We announce analogies for this Airy kernel of the following properties of the sine kernel: the completely integrable system of PDE's found by Jimbo, Miwa, Môri and Sato; the expression, in the case of a single interval, of the Fredholm determinant in terms of a Painlevé transcendent; the existence of a commuting differential operator; and the fact that this operator can be used in the derivation of asymptotics, for general n, of the probability that an interval contains precisely n eigenvalues. © 1993.
