Abstract
The Freud ensemble of random matrices is the unitary invariant ensemble corresponding to the weight exp(−n|x|^β), β > 0, on the real line. We consider the local behaviour of eigenvalues near zero, which exhibits a transition in β. If β ≥ 1, it is described by the standard sine process. Below the critical value β = 1, it is described by a process depending on the value of β, and we determine the first two terms of the large gap probability in it. This so called weak confinement range 0 < β < 1 corresponds to the Freud weight with the indeterminate moment problem. We also find the multiplicative constant in the asymptotic expansion of the Freud multiple integral for β ≥ 1.
