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…
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 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…
Let $D$ be a Jordan domain of unit capacity. We study the partition function of a planar Coulomb gas in $D$ with a hard wall along $\eta = \partial D$, \[Z_{n}(D) =\frac 1{n!}\int_{D^n}\prod_{1\le k < \ell \le n}|z_k-z_\ell|^{2}…
We study the statistical mechanics of a one-dimensional log gas with general potential and arbitrary beta, the inverse of temperature, according to the method we introduced for two-dimensional Coulomb gases in [SS2]. Such ensembles…
We consider planar Coulomb systems consisting of a large number $n$ of repelling point charges in the low temperature regime, where the inverse temperature $\beta$ grows at least logarithmically in $n$ as $n \longrightarrow \infty$, i.e.,…
The model under consideration is an asymmetric two-dimensional Coulomb gas of positively (q_1=+1) and negatively (q_2=-1/2) charged pointlike particles, interacting via a logarithmic potential. This continuous system is stable against…
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…
Two-dimensional Coulomb gases on an annulus at a special inverse temperature $\beta = 2$ are studied by using the orthogonal polynomial method borrowed from the theory of random matrices. The correlation functions among the Coulomb gas…
We study the planar Coulomb gas in the regime where the inverse temperature $\beta_n$ grows at least logarithmically with respect to the number of particles $n$ (freezing regime, $\beta_n\gtrsim \log n$). We show that, almost surely for…
We introduce and study a model of a logarithmic gas with inverse temperature $\beta$ on an arbitrary smooth closed contour in the plane. This model generalizes Dyson's gas (the $\beta$-ensemble) on the unit circle. We compute the…
For the two-dimensional one-component Coulomb plasma, we derive an asymptotic expansion of the free energy up to order $N$, the number of particles of the gas, with an effective error bound $N^{1-\kappa}$ for some constant $\kappa > 0$.…
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…
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 consider a planar Coulomb gas in which the external potential is generated by a smeared uniform background of opposite-sign charge on a disc. This model can be seen as a two-dimensional Wigner jellium, not necessarily charge neutral, and…
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 large $n$ expansions for the partition function of a Coulomb gas $$Z_n=\frac 1 {\pi^n}\int_{\mathbb{C}^n}\prod_{1\le i<j\le n}|z_i-z_j|^2\prod_{i=1}^n e^{-nQ(z_i)}\, d^2 z_i,$$ where $Q$ is a radially symmetric confining potential…
We consider the probability measure minimizing a free energy functional equal to the sum of a Coulomb interaction, a confinement potential and an entropy term, which arises in the statistical mechanics of Coulomb gases. In the limit where…
