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

    We survey the current status of universality limits for mm-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\beta ensembles for β2\beta \neq 2, nor general Hermitian matrices with independent entries, let alone more general settings. We include some open problems

    On bulk singularities in the random normal matrix model

    We extend the method of rescaled Ward identities of Ameur-Kang-Makarov to study the distribution of eigenvalues close to a bulk singularity, i.e. a point in the interior of the droplet where the density of the classical equilibrium measure vanishes. We prove results to the effect that a certain "dominant part" of the Taylor expansion determines the microscopic properties near a bulk singularity. A description of the distribution is given in terms of a special entire function, which depends on the nature of the singularity (a Mittag-Leffler function in the case of a rotationally symmetric singularity).Comment: This version clarifies on the proof of Theorem

    Universality for ensembles of matrices with potential theoretic weights on domains with smooth boundary

    We investigate a two-dimensional statistical model of N charged particles interacting via logarithmic repulsion in the presence of an oppositely charged compact region K whose charge density is determined by its equilibrium potential at an inverse temperature corresponding to \beta = 2. When the charge on the region, s, is greater than N, the particles accumulate in a neighborhood of the boundary of K, and form a determinantal point process on the complex plane. We investigate the scaling limit, as N \to \infty, of the associated kernel in the neighborhood of a point on the boundary under the assumption that the boundary is sufficiently smooth. We find that the limiting kernel depends on the limiting value of N/s, and prove universality for these kernels. That is, we show that, the scaled kernel in a neighborhood of a point \zeta \in \partial K can be succinctly expressed in terms of the scaled kernel for the closed unit disk, and the exterior conformal map which carries the complement K to the complement of the closed unit disk. When N / s \to 0 we recover the universal kernel discovered by Doron Lubinsky in Universality type limits for Bergman orthogonal polynomials, Comput. Methods Funct.
