Consider a semi-infinite skew-symmetric moment matrix, $m_{\iy}$ evolving according to the vector fields $\pl m / \pl t_k=\Lb^k m+m \Lb^{\top k} ,$ where $\Lb$ is the shift matrix. Then the skew-Borel decomposition $ m_{\iy}:= Q^{-1} J…
We study the Pfaff lattice, introduced by us in the context of a Lie algebra splitting of gl(infinity) into sp(infinity) and lower-triangular matrices. We establish a set of bilinear identities, which we show to be equivalent to the Pfaff…
Pfaffians of matrices with entries z[i,j]/(x\_i+x\_j), or determinants of matrices with entries z[i,j]/(x\_i-x\_j), where the antisymmetrical indeterminates z[i,j] satisfy the Pl\"ucker relations, can be identified with a trace in an…
Orthogonal and symplectic matrix integrals are investigated. It is shown that the matrix integrals can be considered as a $\tau$-function of the coupled KP hierarchy, whose solution can be expressed in terms of pfaffians.
We extend the approach to ${\tau}$-functions as Widom constants developed by Cafasso, Gavrylenko and Lisovyy to orthogonal loop group Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies and isomonodromic deformations systems. The combinatorial expansion of the…
Correlation functions for matrix ensembles with orthogonal and unitarysymplectic rotation symmetry are more complicated to calculate than in the unitary case. The supersymmetry method and the orthogonal polynomials are two techniques to…

We study the stochastic six-vertex model in half-space with generic integrable boundary weights, and define two families of multivariate rational symmetric functions. Using commutation relations between double-row operators, we prove a skew…
This work highlights the existence of partial symmetries in large families of iterated plethystic coefficients. The plethystic coefficients involved come from the expansion in the Schur basis of iterated plethysms of Schur functions indexed…
First we introduce the two tau-functions which appeared either as the $\tau$-function of the integrable hierarchy governing the Riemann mapping of Jordan curves or in conformal field theory and the universal Grassmannian. Then we discuss…
It is well-known that the partition function of the unitary ensembles of random matrices is given by a tau-function of the Toda lattice hierarchy and those of the orthogonal and symplectic ensembles are tau-functions of the Pfaff lattice…
A Pfaff field on a projective space is a map from the sheaf of differential s-forms, for a certain s, to an invertible sheaf. The interesting ones are those arising from a Pfaff system, as they give rise to a distribution away from their…
Consider a symmetric (finite) matrix ensemble, with a certain probability distribution. What is the probability that the spectrum belongs to a certain interval or union of intervals on the real line? In this paper, we show that, upon…
The finite Pfaff lattice is given by commuting Lax pairs involving a finite matrix L (zero above the first subdiagonal) and a projection onto Sp(N). The lattice admits solutions such that the entries of the matrix L are rational in the time…
The ring of cyclic quasi-symmetric functions and its non-Escher subring are introduced in this paper. A natural basis consists of fundamental cyclic quasi-symmetric functions; for the non-Escher subring they arise as toric $P$-partition…
We derive an expression for the product of the Pfaffians of two skew-symmetric matrices A and B as a sum of products of the traces of powers of AB and an expression for the inverse matrix A$^{-1}$, or equivalently B$^{-1}$, as a…
Linear statistics, a random variable build out of the sum of the evaluation of functions at the eigenvalues of a N times N random matrix,sum[j=1 to N]f(xj) or tr f(M), is an ubiquitous statistical characteristics in random matrix theory.…
Let $(M,g)$ be a $n-$dimensional, compact Riemannian manifold. We define the frequency scale $\lambda$ of a function $f \in C^{0}(M)$ as the largest number such that $\left\langle f, \phi_k \right\rangle =0$ for all Laplacian eigenfunctions…
We study the regularity of smooth functions whose derivatives are dominated by sequences of the form $M_p^{\tau,\s}=p^{\tau p^{\s}}$, $\tau>0$, $\s\geq1$. We show that such functions can be characterized through the decay properties of…
We review the role played by tau functions of special type - called {\it Bergman} tau functions in various areas: theory of isomonodromic deformations, solutions of Einstein's equations, theory of Dubrovin-Frobenius manifolds, geometry of…
