Conjecture on Airy point-process fluctuations of higher eigenvalues

Let GnG_n be the hexagonal-lattice rhombus and let HnH_n be its weighted adjacency operator in either the i.i.d. or mixed model. Let fˉγ\bar f_\gamma and gˉγ\bar g_\gamma be the constants from the mixed-model theorem, and let λn,k\lambda_{n,k} be the kkth smallest positive eigenvalue of HnH_n. Define

αn,k=logλn,kfˉγn(ngˉγ/2)1/3.\alpha_{n,k}=\frac{-\log \lambda_{n,k}-\bar f_\gamma n}{(n\bar g_\gamma/2)^{1/3}}.

Higher-eigenvalue Airy-process conjecture. For any fixed kk, as nn\to\infty, the tuple (αn,1,,αn,k)(\alpha_{n,1},\ldots,\alpha_{n,k}) converges in distribution to the top kk points of the Airy point process. This conjecture extends the proved Tracy–Widom fluctuation result for the smallest positive eigenvalue to any fixed number of higher positive eigenvalues in both models.
