Abstract
We consider the Gaussian \(\beta \)-ensemble when \(\beta \) scales with n (the number of particles) such that \(\displaystyle {{n}^{-1}\ll \beta \ll 1}\). Under a certain regime for \(\beta \), we show that the largest particle satisfies a large deviations principle in \(\mathbb {R}\) with speed \(n\beta \) and explicit rate function. As a consequence, the largest particle converges in probability to 2, the rightmost point of the semicircle law.
