Abstract

In this paper, we compute the probability that an NxN matrix from the generalised Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (gGUE) is positive definite, extending a previous result of Dean and Majumdar. For this purpose, we work out the large degree asymptotics of semi-classical Laguerre polynomials and their recurrence coefficients, using the steepest descent analysis of the corresponding Riemann--Hilbert problem.
