We study a family of Fredholm determinants associated to deformations of the sine kernel, parametrized by a weight function w. For a specific choice of w, this kernel describes bulk statistics of finite temperature free fermions. We establish a connection between these determinants and a system of integro-differential equations generalizing the fifth Painlevé equation, and we show that they allow us to solve an integrable PDE explicitly for a large class of initial data.
