We consider certain determinants with respect to a sufficiently regular Jordan curve $\gamma$ in the complex plane that generalize Toeplitz determinants which are obtained when the curve is the circle. This also corresponds to studying a…
We study a planar Coulomb gas confined to a sufficiently smooth Jordan arc $\gamma$ in the complex plane, at inverse temperature $\beta > 0$. Let \[\bar{Z}_{n}^\beta(\gamma) = Z_{n}^\beta(\gamma)/\left(2 \textrm{cap}(\gamma)\right)^{\beta…
We prove an asymptotic formula for the partition function of a 2d Coulomb gas at inverse temperature $\beta>0$ confined to lie on a Jordan curve. This also gives a central limit theorem for a linear statistic of the particles in the gas. We…
The large $N$ asymptotic expansion of the partition function for the normal matrix model is predicted to have special features inherited from its interpretation as a two-dimensional Coulomb gas. However for the latter, it is most natural to…
We study the partition function $$ Z_n = \int_{\mathbb{C}^n } \prod_{1 \le j<k \le n} |z_{j}-z_{k}|^{2} \prod_{j=1}^{n} |z_j|^{2c}\, e^{-n V(z_{j})}\frac{d^{2}z_{j}}{\pi}, $$ where $c>-1$ and $$ V(z)= |z|^{2d}-t(z^{d}+\overline{z}^{d}),…
We study a two-dimensional Coulomb gas consisting of a mixture of particles carrying various positive multiple integer charges, confined on a unit circle. We consider the system in the canonical and grand canonical ensembles, and attempt to…
We investigate a one-parameter family of Coulomb gases in two dimensions, which are confined to an ellipse, due to a hard wall constraint, and are subject to an additional external potential. At inverse temperature $\beta=2$ we can use the…
We study the non-asymptotic behavior of a Coulomb gas on a compact Riemannian manifold. This gas is a symmetric n-particle Gibbs measure associated to the two-body interaction energy given by the Green function. We encode such a particle…
We consider a two-dimensional Coulomb gas confined to a disk when the external potential is radially symmetric. In the presence of a hard-wall constraint effective to change the equilibrium, the density of the equilibrium measure acquires a…
We examine a Coulomb gas consisting of $n$ identical repelling point charges at an arbitrary inverse temperature $\beta$, subjected to a suitable external field. We prove that the gas is effectively localized to a small neighbourhood of the…
The Belinksy-Khalatnikov-Lifshitz dynamics of gravity close to a spacelike singularity can be mapped, at each point in space separately, onto the motion of a particle bouncing within half the fundamental domain of the modular group. We show…
We derive the asymptotic expansion of the partition function of a Coulomb gas system in the determinantal case on compact Riemann surfaces of any genus g. Our main tool is the bosonization formula relating the analytic torsion and geometric…
We consider a two-dimensional bi-layered loop model with a certain interlayer coupling and study its spectrum on a torus. Each layer consists of an $O(n)$ model on a honeycomb lattice with periodic boundary conditions; these layers are…
The statistical mechanics of a two dimensional Coulomb gas confined to one dimension is studied, wherein hard core particles move on a ring. Exact self-duality is shown for a version of the sine-Gordon model arising in this context, thereby…
We study a log-gas on a network (a finite, simple graph) confined in a bounded subset of a local field (i.e. R, C, Q_{p} the field of p-adic numbers). In this gas, a log-Coulomb interaction between two charged particles occurs only when the…
The composition $\gamma \circ \eta$ of Jordan curves $\gamma$ and $\eta$ in universal Teichm\"uller space is defined through the composition $h_\gamma \circ h_\eta$ of their conformal weldings. We show that whenever $\gamma$ and $\eta$ have…
We study a class of radially symmetric Coulomb gas ensembles at inverse temperature $\beta=2$, for which the droplet consists of a number of concentric annuli, having at least one bounded ``gap'' $G$, i.e., a connected component of the…
This article extends recent results on log-Coulomb gases in a $p$-field $K$ (i.e., a nonarchimedean local field) to those in its projective line $\mathbb{P}^1(K)$, where the latter is endowed with the $PGL_2$-invariant Borel probability…
We study the statistical mechanics of classical two-dimensional "Coulomb gases" with general potential and arbitrary \beta, the inverse of the temperature. Such ensembles also correspond to random matrix models in some particular cases. The…
We study the partition function of a two-dimensional Coulomb gas on a circle, in the presence of external pointlike charges, in a double scaling limit where both the external charges and the number of gas particles are large. Our original…
