Uniform convergence of Pfaffian point process to the Airy line ensemble

Abstract

We consider a family of Pfaffian Schur processes whose first coordinate marginal relates to the half--space geometric last passage percolation. We show that the line ensembles corresponding to the Pfaffian Schur processes with geometric weights converge uniformly over compact sets to the Airy line ensemble. By detailed asymptotic analysis of the kernels, we can verify the conditions for the finite dimensional weak convergence introduced in arXiv:2408.08445. By utilizing the tightness criteria of the line ensembles established in arXiv:2410.23899, we can further improve the finite dimensional convergence to the uniform convergence over compact sets. Moreover, using the same methodology we also show that sequences of spiked Pfaffian Schur processes converge uniformly over compact sets to the Airy wanderer line ensembles constructed in arXiv:2408.08445.
