Random Normal Matrices : Eigenvalue Correlations Near a Hard Wall

Ameur, Yacin LU ; Charlier, Christophe LU and Cronvall, Joakim LU (2024) In Journal of Statistical Physics 191(8).
Abstract

We study pair correlation functions for planar Coulomb systems in the pushed phase, near a ring-shaped impenetrable wall. We assume coupling constant Γ=2 and that the number n of particles is large. We find that the correlation functions decay slowly along the edges of the wall, in a narrow interface stretching a distance of order 1/n from the hard edge. At distances much larger than 1/n, the effect of the hard wall is negligible and pair correlation functions decay very quickly, and in between sits an interpolating interface that we call the “semi-hard edge”. More precisely, we provide asymptotics for the correlation kernel Kn(z,w) as n→∞ in two microscopic regimes (with either |z-w|=O(1/n) or |z-w|=O(1/n)), as well as in... (More)

We study pair correlation functions for planar Coulomb systems in the pushed phase, near a ring-shaped impenetrable wall. We assume coupling constant Γ=2 and that the number n of particles is large. We find that the correlation functions decay slowly along the edges of the wall, in a narrow interface stretching a distance of order 1/n from the hard edge. At distances much larger than 1/n, the effect of the hard wall is negligible and pair correlation functions decay very quickly, and in between sits an interpolating interface that we call the “semi-hard edge”. More precisely, we provide asymptotics for the correlation kernel Kn(z,w) as n→∞ in two microscopic regimes (with either |z-w|=O(1/n) or |z-w|=O(1/n)), as well as in three macroscopic regimes (with |z-w|≍1). For some of these regimes, the asymptotics involve oscillatory theta functions and weighted Szegő kernels.
