Abstract
Abstract: For a symmetric weight $w(x)$ on a finite discrete lattice and its Christoffel transforms $x^{2}w(x),x^{2}(x^{2}w(x)),\dots$, we prove that, at each Christoffel step, the conjugated projection associated with the transformed Christoffel--Darboux kernel differs from the original orthogonal projection by a rank-one operator on the subspace of functions vanishing at the origin. This provides a general mechanism for transferring local asymptotic results from an orthogonal polynomial ensemble to its Christoffel-transformed counterpart as the lattice size tends to infinity.
As a main application, we study local fluctuations of random Young diagrams arising from skew $(\mathrm{Sp}_{2n},\mathrm{Sp}_{2k})$ Howe duality. The corresponding particle ensemble is obtained from the Krawtchouk orthogonal polynomial ensemble on a quadratic lattice by a Christoffel transform. We identify four asymptotic regimes of local fluctuations in the limit $n,k\to\infty$ with $n/k\to c\in(0,\infty)$. Besides the universal bulk fluctuations governed by the discrete sine kernel and universal Airy fluctuations at the right edge of the limit shape, we obtain the discrete Hermite kernel in the critical regime
$(k-n)/\sqrt{n+k}\longrightarrow r\in\RR$, and the discrete hard-wall sine kernel at the left corner.
Joint work with Anton Nazarov and Anton Selemenchuk.
