Hole probabilities for determinantal point processes in the complex plane

Abstract

We study the hole probabilities for ${\mathcal X}_{\infty}^{(\alpha)}$ ($\alpha>0$), a determinantal point process in the complex plane with the kernel $\mathbb K_{\infty}^{(\alpha)}(z,w)=\frac{\alpha}{2\pi}E_{\frac{2}{\alpha},\frac{2}{\alpha}}(z\bar w)e^{-\frac{|z|^{\alpha}}{2}-\frac{|w|^{\alpha}}{2}}$ with respect to Lebesgue measure on the complex plane, where $E_{a,b}(z)$ denotes the Mittag-Leffler function. Let $U$ be an open subset of $D(0,(\frac{2}{\alpha})^{\frac{1}{\alpha}})$ and ${\mathcal X}_{\infty}^{(\alpha)}(rU)$ denote the number of points of ${\mathcal X}_{\infty}^{(\alpha)}$ that fall in $rU$. Then, under some conditions on $U$, we show that $$ \lim_{r\to \infty}\frac{1}{r^{2\alpha}}\log\mathbb P[\mathcal X_{\infty}^{(\alpha)}(rU)=0]=R_{\emptyset}^{(\alpha)}-R_{U}^{(\alpha)}, $$ where $\emptyset$ is the empty set and $$ R_U^{(\alpha)}:=\inf_{\mu\in \mathcal P(U^c)}\left\{\iint \log{\frac{1}{|z-w|}}d\mu(z)d\mu(w)+\int |z|^{\alpha}d\mu(z) \right\}, $$ $\mathcal P(U^c)$ is the space of all compactly supported probability measures with support in $U^c$. Using potential theory, we give an explicit formula for $R_U^{(\alpha)}$, the minimum possible energy of a probability measure compactly supported on $U^c$ under logarithmic potential with an external field $\frac{|z|^{\alpha}}{2}$. In particular, $\alpha=2$ gives the hole probabilities for the infinite ginibre ensemble. Moreover, we calculate $R_U^{(2)}$ explicitly for some special sets like annulus, cardioid, ellipse, equilateral triangle and half disk.
