In this paper, we study large $c$ Virasoro blocks by using the Zamolodchikov monodromy method beyond its known limits. We give an analytic proof of our recent conjectur, which implied that the asymptotics of the large $c$ conformal blocks…
What is the connection of random matrices with integrable systems? Is this connection really useful? The answer to these questions leads to a new and unifying approach to the theory of random matrices. Introducing an appropriate time…
This article is concerned with obtaining the standard tau function descriptions of integrable equations (in particular, here the KdV and Ernst equations are considered) from the geometry of their twistor correspondences. In particular, we…
The Brezin-Gross-Witten tau function is a tau function of the KdV hierarchy which arises in the weak coupling phase of the Brezin-Gross-Witten model. It falls within the family of generalized Kontsevich matrix integrals, and its…
Conformal blocks and their AGT relations to LMNS integrals and Nekrasov functions are best described by "conformal" (or Dotsenko-Fateev) matrix models, but in non-Gaussian Dijkgraaf-Vafa phases, where different eigenvalues are integrated…

Motivated by problems arising in the study of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories we introduce and study irregular singularities in two-dimensional conformal field theory, here Liouville theory. Irregular singularities are associated to…
We discuss relations which exist between analytic functions belonging to the recently introduced class of special functions of the isomonodromy type (SFITs). These relations can be obtained by application of some simple transformations to…

We study a Schr\"odinger-like equation for the anharmonic potential $x^{2 \alpha}+\ell(\ell+1) x^{-2}-E$ when the anharmonicity $\alpha$ goes to $+\infty$. When $E$ and $\ell$ vary in bounded domains, we show that the spectral determinant…
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of a family of pole-free solutions to the noncommutative Painlev\'e II equation. These particular solutions can be expressed in terms of the Fredholm determinant of the matrix version of the…
Using the Fredholm theory of the linear time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation set up in our previous article arXiv:2201.03140, we solve the final-state problem for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger problem $$ (D_t + \Delta + V) u = N[u], \quad…
We propose that the grand canonical topological string partition functions satisfy finite-difference equations in the closed string moduli. In the case of genus one mirror curve these are conjectured to be the q-difference Painlev\'e…
Blending Painlev\'e property with singularity confinement for a general arbitrary order Sawada-Kotera differential-difference equation, we find a proliferation of ``tau-functions'' (coming from strictly confined patterns). However only one…
This work studies Liouville conformal blocks of irregular type with the insertion of at least one level-$3$ degenerate field admitting a Fibonacci fusion rule. We algebraically derive the corresponding third-order BPZ equations for regular…
We study the full asymptotic expansion of the monodromy data ({\it i.e.}, Stokes multipliers) for the first Painlev\'{e} transcendent (PI) with large initial data or large pole parameters. Our primary approach involves refining the complex…
In this paper we study the simplest deformation on a sequence of orthogonal polynomials, namely, replacing the original (or reference) weight $w_0(x)$ defined on an interval by $w_0(x)e^{-tx}.$ It is a well-known fact that under such a…
Kendall's tau and Spearman's rho are widely used tools for measuring dependence. Surprisingly, when it comes to asymptotic inference for these rank correlations, some fundamental results and methods have not yet been developed, in…
