There are three basic flavors of local limit theorems in random matrix theory, connected to the spectral bulk and the so-called soft and hard edges. There also abound a collection of more exotic limits which arise in models that posses degenerate (or “non-regular”) points in their equilibrium measure. What is more, there is typically a natural double scaling about these non-regular points, producing limit laws that transition between the more familiar basic flavors. Here I will describe a general beta matrix model for which the appropriate double scaling limit is the Stochastic Airy Operator conditioned on having no eigenvalues below a fixed level.  I know of no other random matrix double scaling fully characterized outside of beta = 2. This is work in progress with J. Ramirez (University of Costa Rica).
