Abstract. We consider a discrete polynuclear growth (PNG) process and prove a functional limit theorem for its convergence to the Airy process. This generalizes previous results by Prähofer and Spohn. The result enables us to express the F1 GOE Tracy-Widom distribution in terms of the Airy process. We also show some results and give a conjecture about the transversal fluctuations in a point to line last passage percolation problem. 1. Introduction and

Abstract. We investigate certain measures induced by families of nonintersecting paths in domino tilings of the Aztec diamond, rhombus tilings of an abc-hexagon, a dimer model on a cylindrical brick lattice and a growth model. The measures obtained, e.g. the Krawtchouk and Hahn ensembles, have the same structure as the eigenvalue measures in random matrix theory like GUE, which can in fact can be obtained from non-intersecting Brownian motions. The derivations of the measures are based on the Karlin-McGregor or Lindström-Gessel-Viennot method. We use the measures to show some asymptotic results for the models. 1.
A note on universality of the distribution of the largest eigenvalues in certain sample covariance matrices

Recently Johansson (21) and Johnstone (16) proved that the distribution of the (properly rescaled) largest principal component of the complex (real) Wishart matrix X g X(X t X) converges to the Tracy–Widom law as n, p (the dimensions of X) tend to. in some ratio n/p Q c>0.We extend these results ..."

Recently Johansson (21) and Johnstone (16) proved that the distribution of the (properly rescaled) largest principal component of the complex (real) Wishart matrix X g X(X t X) converges to the Tracy–Widom law as n, p (the dimensions of X) tend to. in some ratio n/p Q c>0.We extend these results in two directions. First of all, we prove that the joint distribution of the first, second, third, etc. eigenvalues of a Wishart matrix converges (after a proper rescaling) to the Tracy–Widom distribution. Second of all, we explain how the combinatorial machinery developed for Wigner random matrices in refs. 27, 38, and 39 allows to extend the results by Johansson and Johnstone to the case of X with non-Gaussian entries, provided n − p=O(p 1/3). We also prove that l max [ (n 1/2 +p 1/2) 2 +O(p 1/2 log(p)) (a.e.) for general c>0. KEY WORDS: Sample covariance matrices; principal component; Tracy– Widom distribution.

Abstract. We prove that the, appropriately rescaled, boundary of the north polar region in the Aztec diamond converges to the Airy process. The proof uses certain determinantal point processes given by the extended Krawtchouk kernel. We also prove a version of Propp’s conjecture concerning the structure of the tiling at the center of the Aztec diamond. 1. Introduction and

We consider the asymptotic fluctuation behavior of the largest eigenvalue of certain sample covariance matrices in the asymptotic regime where both dimensions of the corresponding data matrix go to infinity. More precisely, let X be an n × p matrix, and let its rows be i.i.d. complex normal vectors with mean 0 and covariance �p. We show that for a large class of covariance matrices �p, the largest eigenvalue of X ∗ X is asymptotically distributed (after recentering and rescaling) as the Tracy–Widom distribution that appears in the study of the Gaussian unitary ensemble. We give explicit formulas for the centering and scaling sequences that are easy to implement and involve only the spectral distribution of the population covariance, n and p. The main theorem applies to a number of covariance models found in applications. For example, well-behaved Toeplitz matrices as well as covariance matrices whose spectral distribution is a sum of atoms (under some conditions on the mass of the atoms) are among the models the theorem can handle. Generalizations of the theorem to certain spiked versions of our models and a.s. results about the largest eigenvalue are given. We also discuss a simple corollary that does not require normality of the entries of the data matrix and some consequences for applications in multivariate statistics.

We prove that, under fairly general conditions, a properly rescaled determinantal random point field converges to a generalized Gaussian random process. 1. Introduction and formulation of results. Let E be a locally compact Hausdorff space satisfying the second axiom of countability, B—σ-algebra of Borel subsets and µ a σ-finite measure on (E, B), such that µ(K) < ∞ for any compact K ⊂ E. We denote by X the space of locally finite configurations of particles in E: X ={ξ = (xi) ∞ i=− ∞ : xi ∈ E ∀i, and for any compact K ⊂ E #K(ξ):=
