Abstract
We introduce an ensemble consisting of logarithmically repelling charge one and charge two particles on the unit circle constrained so that the total charge of all particles equals , but the proportion of each species of particle is allowed to vary according to a fugacity parameter. We identify the proper scaling of the fugacity with so that the proportion of each particle stays positive in the limit. This ensemble forms a Pfaffian point process on the unit circle, and we derive the scaling limits of the matrix kernel(s) as a function of the interpolating parameter. This provides a solvable interpolation between the circular unitary and symplectic ensembles.
