With $<\cdot>$ denoting an average with respect to the eigenvalue PDF for the Laguerre unitary ensemble, the object of our study is $ \tilde{E}_N(I;a,\mu) := < \prod_{l=1}^N \chi_{(0,\infty)\backslash I}^{(l)} (\lambda - \lambda_l)^\mu>$…
Okamoto has obtained a sequence of $\tau$-functions for the \PVI system expressed as a double Wronskian determinant based on a solution of the Gauss hypergeometric equation. Starting with integral solutions of the Gauss hypergeometric…
This is an expository account of the edge eigenvalue distributions in random matrix theory and their application in multivariate statistics. The emphasis is on the Painlev\'e representations of these distributions.
A feature of certain ensembles of random matrices is that the corresponding measure is invariant under conjugation by unitary matrices. Study of such ensembles realised by matrices with Gaussian entries leads to statistical quantities…
In this work we show that the $ N\times N $ Toeplitz determinants with the symbols $ z^{\mu}\exp(-{1/2}\sqrt{t}(z+1/z)) $ and $ (1+z)^{\mu}(1+1/z)^{\nu}\exp(tz) $ -- known $\tau$-functions for the \PIIIa and \PV systems -- are characterised…
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…
The theory of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle is developed for a general class of weights leading to systems of recurrence relations and derivatives of the polynomials and their associated functions, and to functional-difference…
This paper first surveys the connection of integrable systems of the Painleve type to various distribution functions appearing in Wigner-Dyson random matrix theory. A short discussion is then given of the appearance of these same…
In a recent study of large non-null sample covariance matrices, a new sequence of functions generalizing the GUE Tracy-Widom distribution of random matrix theory was obtained. This paper derives Painlev\'e formulas of these functions and…

We consider the symmetric gap probability distributions of certain Freud unitary ensembles. This problem is related to the Hankel determinants generated by the Freud weights supported on the complement of a symmetric interval. By using Chen…
In this paper we study a certain recurrence relation, that can be used to generate ladder operators for the Laguerre Unitary ensemble, from the point of view of Sakai's geometric theory of Painlev\'e equations. On one hand, this gives us…
Orthogonal polynomials and multiple orthogonal polynomials are interesting special functions because there is a beautiful theory for them, with many examples and useful applications in mathematical physics, numerical analysis, statistics…
Tracy and Widom have evaluated the cumulative distribution of the largest eigenvalue for the finite and scaled infinite GUE in terms of a PIV and PII transcendent respectively. We generalise these results to the evaluation of…
In deriving large n probability distribution function of the rightmost eigenvalue from the classical Random Matrix Theory Ensembles, one is faced with que question of finding large n asymptotic of certain coupled set of functions. This…
This paper is concerned with certain connections between the ensemble of n x n unitary matrices -- specifically the characteristic function of the random variable tr(U) -- and combinatorics -- specifically Ulam's problem concerning the…

We give asymptotic formulae for random matrix averages of derivatives of characteristic polynomials over the groups USp(2N), SO(2N) and O^-(2N). These averages are used to predict the asymptotic formulae for moments of derivatives of…
