The Calogero-Painleve systems were introduce in 2001 by K.Takasaki as
a natural generalization of the classical Painleve equations to the case
of the several Painleve "particles'' coupled via the Calogero
type interactions. In 2014, I. Rumanov discovered a remarkable fact
that a particular case of the Calogero--Painleve II equation describes
the Tracy-Widom distribution function for the general
$\beta$-ensembles with the even values of parameter $\beta$. Recently,
in 2017 work of M. Bertola, M. Cafasso , and V. Rubtsov, it was proven that all
Calogero-Painleve systems are Lax integrable, and hence their
solutions admit a Riemann-Hilbert representation. This important
observation has opened the door to rigorous asymptotic analysis of the Calogero-Painleve
equations which in turn yields the possibility of rigorous
evaluation of the asymptotic behavior of the Tracy-Widom distributions
for the values of $\beta$ beyond the classical $\beta =1, 2, 4$.
In the talk these recent developments will be outlined with a special
focus on the Calogero-Painleve system corresponding to $\beta = 6$.
This is a joint work with Andrei Prokhorov.
