Hard edge statistics conjecture for products involving Pólya ensembles

Let GG be a complex square matrix satisfying conditions (1) and (2), and let HH be a random Hermitian matrix drawn from a polynomial ensemble with limiting Green function G(x)G(x) such that 0<G(0)<0<|G(0)|<\infty. Write K(G)K_\infty^{(G)} for the limiting hard edge kernel associated with GG, and let Θ\Theta denote the Heaviside function, Re\operatorname{Re} and Im\operatorname{Im} the real and imaginary parts, and sign\operatorname{sign} the sign function. Then the limiting hard edge kernel of the eigenvalues of GHGGHG^* should be

Hard edge statistics conjecture.

K(a~1,a~2)=Θ(Re[G(0)]a~2)Re[G(0)]K(G)(sign(a~2)Re[G(0)]a~1,Re[G(0)]a~2)+Im[G(0)]11dt2πJω()(a~1(Im[G(0)]tiRe[G(0)]))Kω()(a~2(Im[G(0)]tiRe[G(0)])).\begin{aligned} K_\infty(\tilde{a}_1,\tilde{a}_2)={}&\Theta(-\operatorname{Re}[G(0)]\tilde{a}_2)|\operatorname{Re}[G(0)]|K_\infty^{(G)}(\operatorname{sign}(\tilde{a}_2)|\operatorname{Re}[G(0)]|\tilde{a}_1,|\operatorname{Re}[G(0)]\tilde{a}_2|)\\ &+\operatorname{Im}[G(0)]\int_{-1}^{1}\frac{dt}{2\pi}J\omega^{(\infty)}\left(\tilde{a}_1(\operatorname{Im}[G(0)]t-i\operatorname{Re}[G(0)])\right)K\omega^{(\infty)}\left(\tilde{a}_2(\operatorname{Im}[G(0)]t-i\operatorname{Re}[G(0)])\right). \end{aligned}

The conjecture proposes that the hard edge limit obtained for the GUE extends, with the Green function evaluated at zero replacing the GUE-specific quantity, to products involving a broad class of polynomial ensembles. The precise assumptions on GG, the referenced conditions, and the limiting functions are inherited from the paper; the parser supplies no evidence that this conjecture has been resolved.
