Isotropic Grassmannians, Plücker and Cartan maps

This work is motivated by the relation between the KP and BKP integrable hierarchies, whose $τ$-functions may be viewed as sections of dual determinantal and Pfaffian line bundles over infinite dimensional Grassmannians. In finite dimensions, we show how to relate the Cartan map which, for a vector space $V$ of dimension $N$, embeds the Grassmannian ${\mathrm {Gr}}^0_V(V+V^*)$ of maximal isotropic subspaces of $V+ V^*$, with respect to the natural scalar product, into the projectivization of the exterior space $Λ(V)$, and the Plücker map, which embeds the Grassmannian ${\mathrm {Gr}}_V(V+ V^*)$ of all $N$-planes in $V+ V^*$ into the projectivization of $Λ^N(V + V^*)$. The Plücker coordinates on ${\mathrm {Gr}}^0_V(V+V^*)$ are expressed bilinearly in terms of the Cartan coordinates, which are holomorphic sections of the dual Pfaffian line bundle ${\mathrm {Pf}}^* \rightarrow {\mathrm {Gr}}^0_V(V+V^*, Q)$. In terms of affine coordinates on the big cell, this is equivalent to an identity of Cauchy-Binet type, expressing the determinants of square submatrices of a skew symmetric $N \times N$ matrix as bilinear sums over the Pfaffians of their principal minors.

Discrete matrix models for partial sums of conformal blocks associated to Painlevé transcendents

A recently formulated conjecture of Gamayun, Iorgov and Lisovyy gives an asymptotic expansion of the Jimbo--Miwa--Ueno isomonodromic $τ$-function for certain Painlevé transcendents. The coefficients in this expansion are given in terms of conformal blocks of a two-dimensional conformal field theory, which can be written as infinite sums over pairs of partitions. In this note a discrete matrix model is proposed on a lattice whose partition function can be used to obtain a multiple integral representation for the length restricted partial sums of the Painlevé conformal blocks. This leads to expressions of the partial sums involving Hänkel determinants associated to the discrete measure of the matrix model, or equivalently, Wronskians of the corresponding moment generating function which is shown to be of the generalized hypergeometric type.

Finite Dimensional KP τ-functions I. Finite Grassmannians

We study τ-functions of the KP hierarchy in terms of abelian group actions on finite dimensional Grassmannians, viewed as subquotients of the Hilbert space Grassmannians of Sato, Segal and Wilson. A determinantal formula of Gekhtman and Kasman involving exponentials of finite dimensional matrices is shown to follow naturally from such reductions. All reduced flows of exponential type generated by matrices with arbitrary nondegenerate Jordan forms are derived, both in the Grassmannian setting and within the fermionic operator formalism. A slightly more general determinantal formula involving resolvents of the matrices generating the flow, valid on the big cell of the Grassmannian, is also derived. An explicit expression is deduced for the Plücker coordinates appearing as coefficients in the Schur function expansion of the τ-function.

Some Biorthogonal Families of Polynomials Arising in Noncommutative Quantum Mechanics

In this paper we study families of complex Hermite polynomials and construct deformed versions of them, using a $GL(2,\mathbb{C})$ transformation. This construction leads to the emergence of biorthogonal families of deformed complex Hermite polynomials, which we then study in the context of a two-dimensional model of noncommutative quantum mechanics.

On the norms and roots of orthogonal polynomials in the plane and $L^p$-optimal polynomials with respect to varying weights

For a measure on a subset of the complex plane we consider $L^p$-optimal weighted polynomials, namely, monic polynomials of degree $n$ with a varying weight of the form $w^n = {\rm e}^{-n V}$ which minimize the $L^p$-norms, $1 \leq p \leq \infty$. It is shown that eventually all but a uniformly bounded number of the roots of the $L^p$-optimal polynomials lie within a small neighborhood of the support of a certain equilibrium measure; asymptotics for the $n$th roots of the $L^p$ norms are also provided. The case $p=\infty$ is well known and corresponds to weighted Chebyshev polynomials; the case $p=2$ corresponding to orthogonal polynomials as well as any other $1\leq p <\infty$ is our contribution.

Regularity of a vector potential problem and its spectral curve

In this note we study a minimization problem for a vector of measures subject to a prescribed interaction matrix in the presence of external potentials. The conductors are allowed to have zero distance from each other but the external potentials satisfy a growth condition near the common points. We then specialize the setting to a specific problem on the real line which arises in the study of certain biorthogonal polynomials (studied elsewhere) and we prove that the equilibrium measures solve a pseudo-algebraic curve under the assumption that the potentials are real analytic. In particular the supports of the equilibrium measures are shown to consist of a finite union of compact intervals.

Superharmonic Perturbations of a Gaussian Measure, Equilibrium Measures and Orthogonal Polynomials

This work concerns superharmonic perturbations of a Gaussian measure given by a special class of positive weights in the complex plane of the form $w(z) = \exp(-|z|^2 + U^μ(z))$, where $U^μ(z)$ is the logarithmic potential of a compactly supported positive measure $μ$. The equilibrium measure of the corresponding weighted energy problem is shown to be supported on subharmonic generalized quadrature domains for a large class of perturbing potentials $U^μ(z)$. It is also shown that the $2\times 2$ matrix d-bar problem for orthogonal polynomials with respect to such weights is well-defined and has a unique solution given explicitly by Cauchy transforms. Numerical evidence is presented supporting a conjectured relation between the asymptotic distribution of the zeroes of the orthogonal polynomials in a semi-classical scaling limit and the Schwarz function of the curve bounding the support of the equilibrium measure, extending the previously studied case of harmonic polynomial perturbations with weights $w(z)$ supported on a compact domain.
