We analyze domino tilings of the two-periodic Aztec diamond by means of matrix valued orthogonal polynomials that we obtain from a reformulation of the Aztec diamond as a non-intersecting path model with periodic transition matrices. In a…
This paper is motivated by computing correlations for domino tilings of the Aztec diamond. It is inspired by two of the three distinct methods that have recently been used in the simplest case of a doubly periodic weighting, that is the…
Matrix valued orthogonal polynomials (MVOP) appear in the study of doubly periodic tiling models. Of particular interest is their limiting behavior as the degree tends to infinity. In recent years, MVOP associated with doubly periodic…
We consider the dimer model on the Aztec diamond with Fock's weights, which is gauge equivalent to the model with any choice of positive weight function. We prove an explicit, compact formula for the inverse Kasteleyn matrix, thus extending…
We compute the algebraic equation for arctic curves of the Aztec diamond with a doubly (quasi-)periodic weight structure and obtain similar results for certain models of the hexagon. In particular, we determine the algebraic degree of such…
For various sets of tiles, we count the ways to tile an Aztec diamond of order $n$ using tiles from that set. The resulting function $f(n)$ often has interesting behavior when one looks at $n$ and $f(n)$ modulo powers of 2.
In this paper we study those polynomials orthogonal with respect to a particular weight over the union of disjoint intervals first introduced by N.I. Akhiezer, via a reformulation as a matrix factorization or Riemann-Hilbert problem. This…
On a finite weighted graph, the dimer model is a probability measure on its dimer covers, that assigns to any cover a probability proportional to the product of the weights of its edges. For planar bipartite graphs, dimer correlations are…
A T\"oplitz determinant whose entries are described by a q-analogue of the Narayana polynomials is evaluated by means of Laurent biorthogonal polynomials which allow of a combinatorial interpretation in terms of Schr\"oder paths. As an…
We present a general approach for the study of dimer model limit shape problems via variational and integrable systems techniques. In particular we deduce the limit shape of the Aztec diamond and the hexagon for quasi-periodic weights…
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…
Some Wiener--Hopf determinants on [0,s] are calculated explicitly for all s>0. Their symbols are zero on an interval and they are related to the determinant with the sine-kernel appearing in the random matrix theory. The determinants are…
We use the octahedron recurrence, which generalizes the quadratic recurrence found by Kuo for standard Aztec diamonds, in order to compute boundary one-refined and two-refined partition functions for two-periodic Aztec diamonds. In a first…
We define an almost periodic extension of the Wiener algebras in the quaternionic setting and prove a Wiener-Levy type theorem for it, as well as extending the theorem to the matrix-valued case. We prove a Wiener-Hopf factorization theorem…
We study the correlation functions for determinantal point processes defined by products of infinite minors of block Toeplitz matrices. The motivation for studying such processes comes from doubly periodically weighted tilings of planar…
The Wiener-Hopf equations are a Toeplitz system of linear equations that naturally arise in several applications in time series. These include the update and prediction step of the stationary Kalman filter equations and the prediction of…
In Bain [J. Math. Phys. 64, 023301 (2023)], we found asymptotics of one-point correlation functions of the two-periodic weighted Aztec diamond in the mesoscopic limit, where the linear size of the ordered region is of the same order as the…
In the work we propose an algorithm for a Wiener -- Hopf factorization of scalar polynomials based on notions of indices and essential polynomials. The algorithm uses computations with finite Toeplitz matrices and permits to obtain…
We analyze a random lozenge tiling model of a large regular hexagon, whose underlying weight structure is periodic of period $2$ in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This is a determinantal point process whose correlation kernel…
In this work we show how to get advantage from the Riemann--Hilbert analysis in order to obtain information about the matrix orthogonal polynomials and functions of second kind associated with a weight matrix. We deduce properties for the…
