The Widom–Arinkin–Borodin determinant formula

About 1 year old · traced to

Let JJ be a jump matrix with factorization J=Φ−−1Φ+J=\Phi_-^{-1}\Phi_+, let τW[J]\tau_W[J] be the Widom determinant, let τAB[J]\tau_{AB}[J] be the corresponding Arinkin–Borodin tau function, and let I\mathbb{I} denote the identity jump. Widom–Arinkin–Borodin formula. The Widom determinant has the expression

τW[J]=τAB[J]τAB[I]τAB[Φ+]τAB[Φ−−1].\tau_W[J]=\frac{\tau_{AB}[J]\tau_{AB}[\mathbb{I}]}{\tau_{AB}[\Phi_+]\tau_{AB}[\Phi_-^{-1}]}.

This statement is conditional on defining the Arinkin–Borodin tau function for arbitrary jumps in the relevant equivalence class, so its status is unresolved in the supplied text.
