The Tracy-Widom distribution is not infinitely divisible

The classical infinite divisibility of distributions related to eigenvalues of some random matrix ensembles is investigated. It is proved that the $β$-Tracy-Widom distribution, which is the limiting distribution of the largest eigenvalue of a $β$-Hermite ensemble, is not infinitely divisible. Furthermore, for each fixed $N \ge 2$ it is proved that the largest eigenvalue of a GOE/GUE random matrix is not infinitely divisible.
