It is shown that the simplest multiplicative random complex matrix model generalizes the large-N phase structure found in the unitary case: A perturbative regime is joined to a nonperturbative regime at a point of nonanalyticity.
We study a unitary matrix model of the Gross-Witten-Wadia type, extended with the addition of characteristic polynomial insertions. The model interpolates between solvable unitary matrix models and is the unitary counterpart of a deformed…

We introduce multicritical Schur measures, which are probability laws on integer partitions which give rise to non-generic fluctuations at their edge. They are in the same universality classes as one-dimensional momentum-space models of…
We study a unitary matrix model with Gross-Witten-Wadia weight function and determinant insertions. After some exact evaluations, we characterize the intricate phase diagram. There are five possible phases: an ungapped phase, two different…
We calculate perturbatively the multifractality spectrum of wave-functions in critical random matrix ensembles in the regime of weak multifractality. We show that in the leading order the spectrum is universal, while the higher order…

We consider a class of matrix integrals over the unitary group $U(N)$ with an infinite set of couplings characterized by a series $f(q)=\sum_{n \ge 1} a_n q^n$, with $a_n \in \mathbb{Z}$. Such integrals arise in physics as the partition…
