We introduce the notion of "hypergeometric" polynomials with respect to Newtonian bases. These polynomials are eigenfunctions ($L P_n(x) = \lambda_n P_n(x)$) of some abstract operator $L$ which is 2-diagonal in the Newtonian basis…

We study Hermitian random matrix models with an external source matrix which has equispaced eigenvalues, and with an external field such that the limiting mean density of eigenvalues is supported on a single interval as the dimension tends…

We study generalized Hermite polynomials with rectangular matrix arguments arising in multivariate statistical analysis and the theory of zonal polynomials. We show that these are well-suited for expressing the Wiener-Ito chaos expansion of…

Defining a family of recurrences, we generalize Comtet's formula for the generating function of the enumeration of indecomposable permutations. Consequently, we generalize Panaitopol's asymptotic expansion for the prime counting function,…

In a recent joint paper with S. Sahi and V. Venkateswaran (2025), families of actions of the double affine Hecke algebra on spaces of quasi-polynomials were introduced. These so-called quasi-polynomial representations led to the…

The classical polynomials of Meixner's type--Hermite, Charlier, Laguerre, Meixner, and Meixner--Pollaczek polynomials--are distinguished through a special form of their generating function, which involves the Laplace transform of their…

For a system of two measures supported on a starlike set in the complex plane, we study asymptotic properties of associated multiple orthogonal polynomials $Q_{n}$ and their recurrence coefficients. These measures are assumed to form a…

In 1927 P\'olya proved that the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the hyperbolicity of Jensen polynomials for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ at its point of symmetry. This hyperbolicity has been proved for degrees $d\leq 3$. We…

Exceptional orthogonal polynomials are complete families of orthogonal polynomials that arise as eigenfunctions of a Sturm-Liouville problem. Antonio Dur\'an discovered a gap in the original proof of completeness for exceptional Hermite…

We describe a family of polynomials discovered via a particular recursion relation, which have connections to Chebyshev polynomials of the first and the second kind, and the polynomial version of Pell's equation. Many of their properties…

We study theta functions of a Riemann surface of genus g from the view point of tau function of a hierarchy of soliton equations. We study two kinds of series expansions. One is the Taylor expansion at any point of the theta divisor. We…

Starting from the moment sequences of classical orthogonal polynomials we derive the orthogonality purely algebraically. We consider also the moments of ($q=1$) classical orthogonal polynomials, and study those cases in which the…

We formulate the Asymptotic Expansion Conjecture for the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev quantum invariants of closed oriented three manifolds. For finite order mapping tori, we study these quantum invariants via the geometric gauge theory…

It is well known that the family of Hahn polynomials $\{h_n^{\alpha,\beta}(x;N)\}_{n\ge 0}$ is orthogonal with respect to a certain weight function up to $N$. In this paper we present a factorization for Hahn polynomials for a degree higher…

In this paper we compute the asymptotic behavior of the recurrence coefficients for polynomials orthogonal with respect to a logarithmic weight $w(x){\rm d}x = \log \frac{2k}{1-x}{\rm d}x$ on $(-1,1)$, $k > 1$, and verify a conjecture of…

In this paper we study the orthogonality conditions satisfied by the classical q-orthogonal polynomials that are located at the top of the q-Hahn tableau (big q-jacobi polynomials (bqJ)) and the Nikiforov-Uvarov tableau (Askey-Wilson…

We give a Riemann-Hilbert approach to the theory of matrix orthogonal polynomials. We will focus on the algebraic aspects of the problem, obtaining difference and differential relations satisfied by the corresponding orthogonal polynomials.…

The theory of bi-orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle is developed for a general class of weights leading to systems of recurrence relations and derivatives of the polynomials and their associated functions, and to…

We establish the Plancherel-Rotach-type asymptotics around the largest zero (the soft edge asymptotics) for some classes of polynomials satisfying three-term recurrence relations with exponentially increasing coefficients. As special cases,…

We observe that five polynomial families have all of their zeros on the unit circle. We prove the statements explicitly for four of the polynomial families. The polynomials have coefficients which involve Bernoulli numbers, Euler numbers,…
