The goal of this paper to make it more accessible to probabilists. The two main theorems are a representation in terms of independent Brownian bridges connecting a fine grid of points, and a modulus of continuity result for all lines. Along the way, we give tail bounds and moduli of continuity for nonintersecting ensembles, and a quick proof for the tightness for Dyson's Brownian motion converging to the Airy line ensemble.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-12-02T02:50:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "airy line ensemble", "basic properties", "random matrix theory", "dysons brownian motion", "determinantal formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
