We introduce a new class of two(multi)-matrix models of positive Hermitean matrices coupled in a chain; the coupling is related to the Cauchy kernel and differs from the exponential coupling more commonly used in similar models. The…

We study unitary random matrix ensembles of the form $Z_{n,N}^{-1} |\det M|^{2\alpha} e^{-N \Tr V(M)}dM$, where $\alpha>-1/2$ and $V$ is such that the limiting mean eigenvalue density for $n,N\to\infty$ and $n/N\to 1$ vanishes quadratically…
