Difference system for Selberg correlation integrals

Abstract

The Selberg correlation integrals are averages of the products s=1ml=1n(xszl)μs\prod_{s=1}^m\prod_{l=1}^n (x_s - z_l)^{\mu_s} with respect to the Selberg density. Our interest is in the case m=1m=1, μ1=μ\mu_1 = \mu, when this corresponds to the μ\mu-th moment of the corresponding characteristic polynomial. We give the explicit form of a (n+1)×(n+1)(n+1) \times (n+1) matrix linear difference system in the variable μ\mu which determines the average, and we give the Gauss decomposition of the corresponding (n+1)×(n+1)(n+1) \times (n+1) matrix. For μ\mu a positive integer the difference system can be used to efficiently compute the power series defined by this average.
