Chen–Manning hard-edge gap probability asymptotic conjecture

Let Eβhard(0;(0,s);a)E_\beta^{\rm hard}(0;(0,s);a) denote the hard-edge probability that (0,s)(0,s) contains no eigenvalues, with hard-edge parameter aa. Chen–Manning's conjecture.

Eβhard(0;(0,s);a)sexp(βs8+asa22βlogs+(1β2)a2βlogs).E_\beta^{\rm hard}(0;(0,s);a) \mathop{\sim}\limits_{s \to \infty} \exp\left(-\frac{\beta s}{8}+a\sqrt{s}-\frac{a^2}{2\beta}\log s+\left(1-\frac{\beta}{2}\right)\frac{a}{2\beta}\log s\right).

This prediction comes from the log-gas calculation at the hard edge and describes the large-ss asymptotic form of the gap probability.
