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 obtain large N asymptotics for the Hermitian random matrix partition function \[Z_N(V)=\int_{\mathbb R^N}\prod_{i<j}(x_i-x_j)^2 \prod_{j=1}^N e^{-N V(x_j)}dx_j,\] in the case where the external potential $V$ is a polynomials such that…

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 consider random normal matrix and planar symplectic ensembles, which can be interpreted as two-dimensional Coulomb gases having determinantal and Pfaffian structures, respectively. For general radially symmetric potentials, we derive the…

We study the characteristic polynomial $p_{n}(x)=\prod_{j=1}^{n}(|z_{j}|-x)$ where the $z_{j}$ are drawn from the Mittag-Leffler ensemble, i.e. a two-dimensional determinantal point process which generalizes the Ginibre point process. We…

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…

We prove a number of results concerning the large $N$ asymptotics of the free energy of a random matrix model with a polynomial potential $V(z)$. Our approach is based on a deformation $\tau_tV(z)$ of $V(z)$ to $z^2$, $0\le t<\infty$ and on…

We study the partition function from random matrix theory using a well known connection to orthogonal polynomials, and a recently developed Riemann-Hilbert approach to the computation of detailed asymptotics for these orthogonal…

We study a determinantal Coulomb gas in the complex plane associated with the external potential $$ Q(z)=\frac{1}{1-\tau^2}\big(|z|^2-\tau \text{Re } z^2\big)-2c\log|z-a|, $$ where $\tau\in[0,1)$, $c\ge0$, and $a\ge0$. In the regimes where…

This paper develops a deeper understanding of the structure and combinatorial significance of the partition function for Hermitian random matrices. The coefficients of the large N expansion of the logarithm of this partition function,also…

We give asymptotic expansions for the moments of the $M_2$-rank generating function and for the $M_2$-rank generating function at roots of unity. For this we apply the Hardy-Ramanujan circle method extended to mock modular forms. Our…

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure in $\mathbb{C}$ with a continuous and compactly supported density function, let $z_1, \dots, z_n$ be independent random variables, $z_i \sim \mu$, and consider the random polynomial $$ p_n(z) =…

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 develop the basic theory of eigenvalues of $p$-adic random matrices, analogous to the classical theory for random matrices over $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{C}$. Such eigenvalue statistics were proposed as a model for the zeroes of $p$-adic…

We establish asymptotic expansions for factorial moments of following distributions: number of cycles in a random permutation, number of inversions in a random permutation, and number of comparisons used by the randomized quick sort…

Coulomb gases are special probability distributions, related to potential theory, that appear at many places in pure and applied mathematics and physics. In these short expository notes, we focus on some models, ideas, and structures. We…

We consider $n$ eigenvalues of complex and symplectic induced spherical ensembles, which can be realised as two-dimensional determinantal and Pfaffian Coulomb gases on the Riemann sphere under the insertion of point charges. For both cases,…

We obtain an asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$, the number of partitions of a natural number $n$, starting from a formula that relates its generating function $f(t), t\in (0,1)$ with the characteristic functions of a family of sums of…

For $X(n)$ a Rademacher or Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we consider the random polynomials $$ P_N(\theta) = \frac1{\sqrt{N}} \sum_{n\leq N} X(n) e(n\theta), $$ and show that the $2k$-th moments on the unit circle $$ \int_0^1…

In this paper we study the asymptotic zero distribution of eigenpolynomials for degenerate exactly-solvable operators. We present an explicit conjecture and partial results on the growth of the largest modulus of the roots of the unique and…
