This paper explores the connection between perfect t-embeddings and the octahedron equation in the setting of the two-periodic Aztec diamond. In particular, we show that the positions of both the t-embedding and the corresponding origami…
We analyze the large degree asymptotic behavior of matrix valued orthogonal polynomials (MVOPs), with a weight that consists of a Jacobi scalar factor and a matrix part. Using the Riemann-Hilbert formulation for MVOPs and the Deift-Zhou…
We consider the canonical Wiener-Hopf factorisation of $2 \times 2$ symmetric matrices $\mathcal M$ with respect to a contour $\Gamma$. For the case that the quotient $q$ of the two diagonal elements of $\mathcal M$ is a rational function,…
In this paper, we exhibit explicitly a sequence of $2\times2$ matrix valued orthogonal polynomials with respect to a weight $W_{p,n}$, for any pair of real numbers $p$ and $n$ such that $0<p<n$. The entries of these polynomiales are…
We introduce a family of domino tilings that includes tilings of the Aztec diamond and pyramid partitions as special cases. These tilings live in a strip of $\mathbb{Z}^2$ of the form $1 \leq x-y \leq 2\ell$ for some integer $\ell \geq 1$,…
The diffraction of a time-harmonic plane wave on collinear finite defects in a square lattice is studied. This problem is reduced to a matrix Wiener-Hopf equation. This work adapts the recently developed iterative Wiener-Hopf method to this…
We introduce a class of orthogonal polynomials in two variables which generalizes the disc polynomials and the 2-$D$ Hermite polynomials. We identify certain interesting members of this class including a one variable generalization of the…
This paper introduces a new method for constructing approximate solutions to a class of Wiener--Hopf equations. This is particularly useful since exact solutions of this class of Wiener--Hopf equations, at the moment, cannot be obtained.…
We give a Fourier-type formula for computing the orthogonal Weingarten formula. The Weingarten calculus was introduced as a systematic method to compute integrals of polynomials with respect to Haar measure over classical groups. Although a…

We introduce a new method for studying gap probabilities in a class of discrete determinantal point processes with double contour integral kernels. This class of point processes includes uniform measures of domino and lozenge tilings as…
In this paper we consider domino tilings of the Aztec diamond with doubly periodic weightings. In particular a family of models which, for any $ k \in \mathbb{N} $, includes models with $ k $ smooth regions is analyzed as the size of the…
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 develop a unified construction of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials associated with discrete weights, yielding bispectral sequences as eigenfunctions of second-order difference operators. This general framework extends the discrete…
Let $k\ge 2$ and $N\ge 1$ be integers. Let $D$ be a positive integer that is congruent to a square modulo $4N$, and fix $\rho$ with $\rho^2\equiv D\pmod{4N}$. In this paper, we consider two weight $2k$ cusp forms $f^{\pm}_{k,N,D,\rho}$ on…
We study the C$^*$-algebra of Wiener-Hopf operators $A_\Omega$ on a cone $\Omega$ with polyhedral base $P$. As is known, a sequence of symbol maps may be defined, and their kernels give a filtration by ideals of $A_\Omega$, with liminary…
In this paper, we study a class of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials (MVOPs) that are related to 2-periodic lozenge tilings of a hexagon. The general model depends on many parameters. In the cases of constant and $2$-periodic parameter…
