Mathematics

I will  relate some statistical quantities associated to the Airy process (i.e., roughly speaking, to the eigenvalues of a large random matrix) to a large class of unbounded solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. The talk is meant to be introductory and no previous knowledge about point processes is needed. This is a joint work with Tom Claeys and Giulio Ruzza (Université Catholique de Louvain).
