Dimers and orthogonal polynomials: connections with random matrices

Mathematical Physics 2013-07-03 v2 math.MP Probability

Abstract

In these lecture notes we present some connections between random matrices, the asymmetric exclusion process, random tilings. These three apparently unrelated objects have (sometimes) a similar mathematical structure, an interlacing structure, and the correlation functions are given in terms of a kernel. In the basic examples, the kernel is expressed in terms of orthogonal polynomials.
