Title: A Convergence Framework for the Airy-beta Line Ensemble via Pole Evolution
Abstract: The Tracy-Widom \beta=2
distribution is the marginal distribution of the top curve in the Airy
line ensemble, which consists of an infinite sequence of random curves
introduced by Prähofer and Spohn. This ensemble was conjectured to
describe the scaling limit of various random surfaces and stochastic
growth models within the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang (KPZ) universality class.
More generally, the Tracy-Widom
\beta distribution represents the marginal distribution of the top curve in the Airy \beta
line ensemble, which arises from the scaling limit of Dyson's Brownian motion.
In this talk, we will present a characterization result for the Airy \beta line ensemble via a stochastic differential equation and discuss its applications, particularly in the convergence of the Airy
line ensemble for Dyson Brownian motions with general potentials,
Laguerre processes, and Jacobi processes. These results are based on
joint work with Lingfu Zhang.
