Forrester–Frankel asymptotic conjecture for Fisher–Hartwig Hankel determinants

About 22 years old · traced to

Let m,N∈Nm,N\in\mathbb{N}, q∈(−1/2,∞)mq\in(-1/2,\infty)^m, and let μ1,…,μm∈int⁡(supp⁡ρ)\mu_1,\dots,\mu_m\in\operatorname{int}(\operatorname{supp}\rho), where ρ(x)\rho(x) is the limiting expected eigenvalue density described above. Suppose that either Ω=R\Omega=\mathbb{R} or Ω=(0,∞)\Omega=(0,\infty), and let ωN(x)=e−NV(x)\omega_N(x)=e^{-NV(x)}, where V(x)V(x) is an NN-independent polynomial with positive leading coefficient and no zeros in Ω\Omega. Define

HN,m,q(μ):=HN,N,m,q(μ)HN+∣q∣,N,∣q∣:=q1+⋯+qm.\mathcal{H}_{N,m,q}(\mu):=\frac{H_{N,N,m,q}(\mu)}{H_{N+|q|,N}},\qquad |q|:=q_1+\dots+q_m.

Forrester–Frankel conjecture. As N→∞N\to\infty with mm, qq, and μ\mu fixed,

HN,m,q(μ)=N∑i=1m(qi2−qi)∏i=1m[ωN(μi)]−qi∏i=1mG2(qi+1)G(2qi+1)(2π)qi2−qi\mathcal{H}_{N,m,q}(\mu)=N^{\sum_{i=1}^m(q_i^2-q_i)}\prod_{i=1}^m[\omega_N(\mu_i)]^{-q_i}\prod_{i=1}^m\frac{G^2(q_i+1)}{G(2q_i+1)}(2\pi)^{q_i^2-q_i} ×∏1≤j<k≤m∣μk−μj∣−2qjqk∏i=1m[ρ(μi)]qi2 [1+o(1)].\times\prod_{1\le j<k\le m}|\mu_k-\mu_j|^{-2q_jq_k}\prod_{i=1}^m[\rho(\mu_i)]^{q_i^2}\,[1+o(1)].

Here GG denotes the Barnes GG-function. This conjecture gives the predicted leading asymptotics of large Hankel determinants with Fisher–Hartwig singularities in the bulk of the limiting eigenvalue density; its status is left unresolved by the supplied source and parser evidence.
