Largest eigenvalue distribution in the double scaling limit of matrix models: A Coulomb fluid approach
Abstract
Using thermodynamic arguments we find that the probability that there are no eigenvalues in the interval (-s,∞) in the double scaling limit of Hermitean matrix models is O(exp(-s2m+1)) as s+∞.Here m=1,2,3.. determine the mth multi-critical point of the level density:σ(x) b[1-(x/b)2]m-1/2 and b2 N.Furthermore,the size of the transition zone where the eigenvalue density becomes vanishingly small at the tail of the spectrum is N(m-3/2)/(2m+1) in agreement with earlier work based on the string equation.
