In this paper we describe various applications of the Riemann-Hilbert method to the theory of orthogonal polynomials on the line and on the circle.
The classical Szeg\H{o}-Verblunsky theorem relates integrability of the logarithm of the absolutely continuous part of a probability measure on the circle to square summability of the sequence of recurrence coefficients for the orthogonal…
Given a measure $\mu$ on the unit sphere $\partial\mathbb{B}^d$ in $\mathbb{C}^d$ with Lebesgue decomposition ${\rm d} \mu = w \, {\rm d} \sigma + {\rm d} \mu_s$, with respect to the rotation-invariant Lebesgue measure $\sigma$ on $\partial…
We develop a numerical method for computing with orthogonal polynomials that are orthogonal on multiple, disjoint intervals for which analytical formulae are currently unknown. Our approach exploits the Fokas--Its--Kitaev Riemann--Hilbert…
In this paper, we are interested in matrix valued orthogonal polynomials on the real line with respect to exponential weights. We obtain strong asymptotics as the degree tends to infinity in different regions of the complex plane, as well…
This is an expanded version of the talk given at the conference ``Constructive Functions Tech-04''. We survey some recent results on canonical representation and asymptotic behavior of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle with respect…
This is a review of ($q$-)hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials and their relation to representation theory of quantum groups, to matrix models, to integrable theory, and to knot theory. We discuss both continuous and discrete orthogonal…
We consider matrix orthogonal polynomials related to Jacobi type matrices of weights that can be defined in terms of a given matrix Pearson equation. Stating a Riemann-Hilbert problem we can derive first and second order differential…
We study algebraic curves that are envelopes of families of polygons supported on the unit circle T. We address, in particular, a characterization of such curves of minimal class and show that all realizations of these curves are…
A unified theory of orthogonal polynomials of a discrete variable is presented through the eigenvalue problem of hermitian matrices of finite or infinite dimensions. It can be considered as a matrix version of exactly solvable Schr\"odinger…
We continue studying polynomials generated by the Szeg\H{o} recursion when a finite number of Verblunsky coefficients lie outside the closed unit disk. We prove some asymptotic results for the corresponding orthogonal polynomials and then…
Orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle (OPUC for short) are a family of polynomials whose orthogonality is given by integration over the unit circle in the complex plane. There are combinatorial studies on the moments of various types of…
We characterize the biorthogonal polynomials that appear in the theory of coupled random matrices via a Riemann-Hilbert problem. Our Riemann-Hilbert problem is different from the ones that were proposed recently by Ercolani and McLaughlin,…
Orthogonal polynomials are of fundamental importance in many fields of mathematics and science, therefore the study of a particular family is always relevant. In this manuscript, we present a survey of some general results of the Hermite…
In this survey article, we review some results and conjectures related to orthogonal polynomials on Cantor sets. The main purpose of this paper is to emphasize the role of equilibrium measures in order to have a general theory of…
Every classical orthogonal polynomial system $p_n(x)$ satisfies a three-term recurrence relation of the type \[ p_{n+1}(x)=(A_nx+B_n)p_n(x)-C_np_{n-1}(x)~ (n=0,1,2,\ldots, p_{-1}\equiv 0), \] with $C_nA_nA_{n-1}>0$. Moreover, Favard's…
We consider matrix orthogonal polynomials related to Bessel type matrices of weights that can be defined in terms of a given matrix Pearson equation. From a Riemann-Hilbert problem we derive first and second order differential relations for…
We introduce and study a special family of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle (OPUC). These OPUC satisfy a mirror symmetry property of their Verblunsky coefficients. Several equivalent conditions for the OPUC to be mirror symmetric…
In this paper we study quasi-orthogonality on the unit circle based on the structural and orthogonal properties of a class of self-invariant polynomials. We discuss a special case in which these polynomials are represented in terms of the…
We develop a theory of Jacobi polynomials for parabolic subgroups of finite reflection groups that specializes to the cases studied by Heckman and Opdam in which the whole group and the trivial group are considered. For the intermediate…
