Periodization conjecture for the generalized sine-kernel Fredholm determinant

About 18 years old · traced to

Let I+VI+V be the generalized sine-kernel operator (GSK), let xx be the large asymptotic parameter, and let ν\nu denote the parameter whose integer shifts restore the determinant's periodicity. Write

A[ν](x)∼det⁡[I+V](0)[ν](1+C1(log⁡x)[ν]x+⋯+CM(log⁡x)[ν]xM+… ),\mathcal{A}[\nu](x)\sim \operatorname{det}[I+V]^{(0)}[\nu]\left(1+\frac{C_1(\log x)[\nu]}{x}+\dots+\frac{C_M(\log x)[\nu]}{x^M}+\dots\right),

for the formal asymptotic series corresponding to the non-oscillating part of the asymptotic series for log⁡det⁡[I+V]\log\operatorname{det}[I+V], where Ck(X)[ν]C_k(X)[\nu] is a polynomial of degree kk in XX with coefficients that are functionals of ν\nu, and where each CkC_k contains no oscillating exponentials of the form e±ixp±\mathrm{e}^{\pm i x p_{\pm}}. Periodization conjecture. The formal asymptotic series for the Fredholm determinant is

det⁡[I+V]∼∑n∈ZA[ν+n](x).\operatorname{det}[I+V]\sim\sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}\mathcal{A}[\nu+n](x).

Equivalently, the asymptotic expansion restores the periodicity ν→ν+n\nu\to\nu+n for n∈Zn\in\mathbb{Z}, and all oscillating terms can be deduced from the non-oscillating ones by integer shifts of ν\nu. This conjecture describes the expected structure of the full asymptotic series beyond the first terms, whose shifted form is exhibited by the preceding correction formula; its general validity is not established in the supplied text.
