In this article, we set up a method of reconstructing to polylogarithms $\mathrm{Li}_k(z)$ from zeta values $\zeta(k)$ via the Riemann-Hilbert problem. This is referred to as "a recursive Riemann-Hilbert problem of additive type." Moreover,…
In this paper we apply results on the asymptotic zero distribution of the Laguerre polynomials to discuss generalizations of the standard large $n$ limit in the non-hermitian Penner matrix model. In these generalizations $g_n n\to t$, but…

We study the probability distribution of the ratio between the second smallest and smallest eigenvalue in the $n\times n$ Laguerre Unitary Ensemble. The probability that this ratio is greater than $r>1$ is expressed in terms of an $n \times…

This paper deals with monic orthogonal polynomials generated by a Geronimus canonical spectral transformation of the Laguerre classical measure: \[ \frac{1}{x-c}x^{\alpha }e^{-x}dx+N\delta (x-c), \] for $x\in[0,\infty)$, $\alpha>-1$, a free…

We provide asymptotics for the number of faces of a certain family of Hanner polytopes. As a corollary, we come close to saturating the FLM inequality for a certain family of parameters.
This paper complements the recent investigation of \cite{DM} on the asymptotic behavior of polynomials orthogonal over the interior of an analytic Jordan curve $L$. We study the specific case of $L=\{z= w-1 +(w-1)^{-1},\ |w|=R\}$, for some…

The Keiper--Li sequence $\{ \lambda_n \}$ is most sensitive to the Riemann Hypothesis asymptotically ($n \to \infty$), but highly elusive both analytically and numerically. We deform it to fully explicit sequences, simpler to analyze and to…
