## Gap probability in the spectrum of random matrices and asymptotics of polynomials orthogonal on an arc of the unit circle.(English)Zbl 1077.60079

One problem in the random matrix theory is the estimation of the probability for a given interval to be free from the eigenvalues. In the Gaussian unitary ensemble, this probability for any interval of length $$2s$$ in the bulk scaling limit is equal to the following Fredholm determinant: $$D(s)=\text{ det} [I-K],$$ where $$K$$ is the integral $(Kg)(x)=\int^{2s}_0\frac{\sin(x-y)}{\pi(x-y)}g(y)dy.$ It is proven that $\ln D(s)=-\frac{s^2}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\ln s+\frac{1}{12}\ln 2+3\zeta'(-1)+O(1/s),$ for $$s\to\infty$$ where $$\zeta'(x)$$ is the derivative of Riemann’s zeta function.
