What is the expectation/variance of the GOE (Airy-1) point process on a partition of the real line?

Let $\chi^{\mathrm{Ai}}(I)$ denote the GUE (Airy-2) point process on the interval $I \subset \mathbb{R}$. Soshnikov proved \begin{align} \mathbb{E}(\chi^{\mathrm{Ai}}(-T, +\infty)) &\sim \...

Integrability of complex gaussian random matrix model

It is known that the partition function $$ \mathcal{Z}_1=\int dH e^{-N{\rm Tr}(H^2)}e^{-NV(H)},$$ where the integral is over $N\times N$ hermitian matrices $H$, with the potential $$ V(H)=\sum_{j\ge 1}...

Why does McMahon formula look like the inclusion-exclusion principle?

The McMahon formula for the number of tilings of an $a \times b \times c$ hexagon by lozenges: $$ \Big[H(a)H(b)H(c)\Big] \Big[H(a+b)H(b+c)H(c+a)\Big]^{-1} \Big[H(a+b+c)\Big]$$ looks oddly like the ...
