We formulate the generic $\tau$-function of the Painlev\'e II equation as a Fredholm determinant of an integrable (Its-Izergin-Korepin-Slavnov) operator. The $\tau$-function depends on the isomonodromic time $t$ and two Stokes' parameters,…

We consider the factorization problem of matrix symbols relative to a closed contour, i.e., a Riemann-Hilbert problem, where the symbol depends analytically on parameters. We show how to define a function $\tau$ which is locally analytic on…
Orthogonal polynomial random matrix models of NxN hermitian matrices lead to Fredholm determinants of integral operators with kernel of the form (phi(x) psi(y) - psi(x) phi(y))/x-y. This paper is concerned with the Fredholm determinants of…
