The stories told in this paper are dealing with the solution of finite, infinite, and biinfinite Toeplitz-type systems. A crucial role plays the off-diagonal decay behavior of Toeplitz matrices and their inverses. Classical results of…

In a recent publication, it was shown that a large class of integrals over the unitary group U(n) satisfy difference equations over $n$, involving a finite number of steps; special cases are generating functions appearing in questions of…
Consider the ensemble of real symmetric Toeplitz matrices, each independent entry an i.i.d. random variable chosen from a fixed probability distribution p of mean 0, variance 1, and finite higher moments. Previous investigations showed that…
We study the Hankel determinant and orthogonal polynomials with respect to the two-parameter weight function $$ w(x)=w(x;t_1, t_2):=\exp(-x^6-t_2 x^4-t_1 x^2),\qquad x\in\mathbb{R}, $$ with $t_1,\; t_2 \in \mathbb{R}$. This problem arises…
We present a solution to a problem suggested by Philippe Biane: We prove that a certain Plancherel-type probability distribution on partitions converges, as partitions get large, to a new determinantal random point process on the set…
In the small dispersion limit, solutions to the Korteweg-de Vries equation develop an interval of fast oscillations after a certain time. We obtain a universal asymptotic expansion for the Korteweg-de Vries solution near the leading edge of…
We show that the coefficients of the three-term recurrence relation for orthogonal polynomials with respect to a semi-classical extension of the Laguerre weight satisfy the fourth Painlev\'e equation when viewed as functions of one of the…
This work provides the general framework for obtaining strong Szeg\H{o} limit theorems for multi-bordered, semi-framed, framed, and multi-framed Toeplitz determinants, extending the results of Basor et al. (2022) beyond the (single)…
Using Atiyah-Bott localization on the space of stable maps to the stack quotient $[\mathbb{P}^1/\mathbb{Z}_2]$, we find recursions that determine all Hodge integrals with descendent insertions at one marked point on the hyperelliptic locus…
We study the local statistics of orthogonal polynomial ensembles near a hard edge, subject to a multiplicative deformation of the measure. Probabilistically, this deformation corresponds to a position-dependent conditional thinning of the…
We describe a refined version of the discrete Painlev\'e identification problem that emphasizes the importance on going beyond just the surface type in describing a discrete Painlev\'e dynamic. We give an example of solving such…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the Ablowitz-Segur solutions for the second Painlev\'e equation using the Riemann-Hilbert approach and methods based on asymptotic expansions of classical special functions. Recent results show that the…
