| Abstract: | Connections are exposed between integrable equations for spectral gap probabilities of unitary invariant ensembles of random matrices (UE) derived by different --- Tracy-Widom (TW) and Adler-Shiota-van Moerbeke (ASvM) --- methods. Simple universal relations are obtained between these probabilities and their ratios on one side, and variables of the approach using resolvent kernels of Fredholm operators on the other side. A unified description of UE is developed in terms of universal, i.e. independent of the specific probability measure, PDEs for gap probabilities, using the correspondence of TW and ASvM variables. These considerations are based on the three-term recurrence for orthogonal polynomials (OP) and one-dimensional Toda lattice (or Toda-AKNS) integrable hierarchy whose flows are the continuous transformations between different OP bases. Similar connections exist for coupled UE. The gap probabilities for one-matrix Gaussian UE (GUE) or joint gap probabilities for coupled GUE satisfy various PDEs whose number grows with the number of spectral endpoints. With the above connections serving as a guide, minimal complete sets of independent lowest order PDEs for the GUE and for the largest eigenvalues of two-matrix coupled GUE are found. |
