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 discuss polynomials orthogonal with respect to a semi-classical generalised higher order Freud weight \[\omega(x;t,\lambda)=|x|^{2\lambda+1}\exp\left(tx^2-x^{2m}\right),\qquad x\in\mathbb{R},\] with parameters $\lambda > -1$,…
We find all polynomials solutions $P_n(x)$ of the abstract "hypergeometric" equation $L P_n(x) = \lambda_n P_n(x)$, where $L$ is a linear operator sending any polynomial of degree $n$ to a polynomial of the same degree with the property…
We relate two parameter solutions of the sixth Painlev\'e equation and finite-gap solutions of the Heun equation by considering monodromy on a certain class of Fuchsian differential equations. In the appendix, we present formulae on…
The distribution of the largest eigenvalue for the three classical unitary ensembles -- GUE, LUE, and JUE -- admits two complementary exact descriptions: (i) as Fredholm determinants of their orthogonal polynomial correlation kernels and…
We consider those Gaussian Unitary Ensembles where the eigenvalues have prescribed multiplicities, and obtain joint probability density for the eigenvalues. In the simplest case where there is only one multiple eigenvalue t, this leads to…
In this paper we use the Riemann-Hilbert problem, with jumps supported on appropriate curves in the complex plane, for matrix biorthogonal polynomials and apply it to find Sylvester systems of differential equations for the orthogonal…
Building upon the recent works of Bertola; Fasondini, Olver and Xu, we define a class of orthogonal polynomials on elliptic curves and establish a corresponding Riemann-Hilbert framework. We then focus on the special case, defined by a…
New sequences of orthogonal polynomials with ultra-exponential weight functions are discovered. In particular, it gives an explicit solution to the Ditkin-Prudnikov problem (1966). The 3-term recurrence relations, explicit representations,…
I present a $q$-analog of the discrete Painlev\'e I equation, and a special realization of it in terms of $q$-orthogonal polynomials.
In a recent work difference equations (Laguerre-Freud equations) for the bi-orthogonal polynomials and related quantities corresponding to the weight on the unit circle $ w(z)=\prod^m_{j=1}(z-z_j(t))^{\rho_j} $ were derived.Here it is shown…
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…
In this work we show how to get advantage from the Riemann--Hilbert analysis in order to obtain first and second order differential equations for the orthogonal polynomials and associated functions with a weight on the unit circle. We…
We introduce a family of weight matrices $W$ of the form $T(t)T^*(t)$, $T(t)=e^{\mathscr{A}t}e^{\mathscr{D}t^2}$, where $\mathscr{A}$ is certain nilpotent matrix and $\mathscr{D}$ is a diagonal matrix with negative real entries. The weight…

Jacobi polynomials are polynomials whose zeros form the unique solution of the Bethe Ansatz equation associated with two sl_2 irreducible modules. We study sequences of r polynomials whose zeros form the unique solution of the Bethe Ansatz…
We show that the discrete Painlev\'e-type equations arising from quantum minimal surfaces are equations for recurrence coefficients of orthogonal polynomials for indefinite hermitian products. As a consequence, we obtain an explicit formula…
