Poisson point-process and Gumbel conjecture for the low-lying eigenvalues

From papers

Let d1,2,3d\in \\{1,2,3\\}. Define

aL:=(CdlogL)12d2,bL:=Cdd(2d2)aL1d2.a_L:= \big(C_d \log L\big)^{\frac1{2-\frac{d}{2}}},\quad b_L:= \frac{C_d}{d (2-\frac{d}{2}) a_L^{1-\frac{d}{2}}}.

Poisson point-process and Gumbel conjecture. The point process

(λn,L+aLbL)n1\left(\frac{\lambda_{n,L} + a_L}{b_L}\right)_{n\ge 1}

converges in law as LL\to\infty to a Poisson point process on R\mathbb R of intensity exdxe^x dx. In particular,

λ1,L+aLbL-\frac{\lambda_{1,L}+a_L}{b_L}

converges in law to a Gumbel random variable.

The preceding tail estimates show concentration of the low-lying eigenvalues near the critical scale aLa_L; this conjecture predicts the finer limiting point-process fluctuations and the associated Gumbel law for the lowest eigenvalue. The source does not state a resolution of this conjecture.
