Large-argument asymptotic conjecture for a multivariate hypergeometric function

Let 0F1(β/2)(_;a+2n;(s04)βa/2,(s14)β,,(sn4)β){}_0F_1^{(\beta/2)}({}_\_;a+2n;({s_0\over4})^{\beta a/2},({s_1\over4})^\beta,\dots,({s_n\over4})^\beta) be the generalized hypergeometric function appearing in the hard-edge scaling limit, and let the parameters aa, nn, and β\beta be as in the source. The corresponding right-hand side is the explicit expression obtained from the scaled large-NN asymptotic in equation (4.23a).

Large-argument hypergeometric asymptotic conjecture. For large values of the arguments {sj}j=0,,n\{s_j\}_{j=0,\dots,n}, the generalized hypergeometric function has the asymptotic form given by the right-hand side of (4.23a), up to terms that vanish as the arguments tend to infinity.

This conjecture connects the double-scaling limit of the β\beta-ensemble average with the large-argument asymptotics of the generalized hypergeometric function. The source does not provide a resolution of the conjecture.
