The formula is analogous to an earlier formula of [PS02] for the Airy$_2$ process. Using this formula we are able to prove that the Airy$_1$ process is H\\\"older continuous with exponent $\\frac12-$ and that it fluctuates locally like a Brownian motion. We also explain how the same methods can be used to obtain the analogous results for the Airy$_2$ process. As a consequence of these two results, we derive a formula for the continuum statistics of the Airy$_1$ process, analogous to that obtained in [CQR11] for the Airy$_2$ process.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-04-13T20:55:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "airy1 process", "local behavior", "hitting probabilities", "fredholm determinant", "standard formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1201.4709Q" } } }
