Orthogonal polynomials in the spherical ensemble with two insertions
Abstract
We consider asymptotics of planar orthogonal polynomials (where ) with respect to the weight in the whole complex plane. With and fixed, we obtain the strong asymptotics of the polynomials, asymptotics for the weighted norm and the limiting zero counting measure. These results apply to the pre-critical phase of the underlying two-dimensional Coulomb gas system, when the support of the equilibrium measure is simply connected. Our method relies on specifying the mother body of the two-dimensional potential problem. It relies too on the fact that the planar orthogonality can be rewritten as a non-Hermitian contour orthogonality. This allows us to perform the Deift-Zhou steepest descent analysis of the associated Riemann-Hilbert problem.
