This paper presents a non-commutative generalization of the Pfaffian which we call a quasi-Pfaffian. This novel concept arises from solving linear systems with non-commutative skew-symmetric coefficients. A new non-commutative integrable system whose solutions are expressed in terms of these quasi-Pfaffians is presented. Derivative formulae and identities satisfied by these quasi-Pfaffians are presented.
We present a constructive framework for deriving noncommutative (NC) integrable equations directly from quasi-determinant solutions. Building upon the quasi-Wronskian structure, we extend the classical direct method to the NC setting, where standard determinant identities are replaced by algebraic relations intrinsic to quasi-determinants. By analyzing derivative identities satisfied by quasi-determinants, we recover the NC Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (ncKP) and Date-Jimbo-Kashiwara-Miwa (ncDJKM) equations by cancellations of nonlinear terms. Furthermore, by imposing flow constraints on the seed functions, we derive NC reductions such as the ncKdV and ncBoussinesq equations and obtain explicit matrix-valued soliton solutions. Our results highlight the quasi-determinant as a fundamental algebraic structure underpinning NC $τ$-function structure.
This paper intends to construct discrete spectral transformations for Cauchy-Jacobi orthogonal polynomials, and find its corresponding discrete integrable systems. It turns out that the normalization factor of Cauchy-Jacobi orthogonal polynomials acts as the $τ$-function of the discrete CKP equation, which has applications in Yang-Baxter equation, integrable geometry, cluster algebra, and so on.
In this paper, we plan to show an eigenvalue algorithm for block Hessenberg matrices by using the idea of non-commutative integrable systems and matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials. We introduce adjacent families of matrix-valued $θ$-deformed bi-orthogonal polynomials, and derive corresponding discrete non-commutative hungry Toda lattice from discrete spectral transformations for polynomials. It is shown that this discrete system can be used as a pre-precessing algorithm for block Hessenberg matrices. Besides, some convergence analysis and numerical examples of this algorithm are presented.
In this paper, we mainly consider a combinatoric explanation for block Pfaffians in terms of non-intersecting paths, as a generalization of results obtained by Stembridge. As applications, we demonstrate how are generating functions of non-intersecting paths related to skew orthogonal polynomials and their deformations, including a new concept called multiple partial-skew orthogonal polynomials.
We investigate the integrability of the non-commutative leapfrog map in this paper. Firstly, we derive the explicit formula for the non-commutative leapfrog map and corresponding discrete zero-curvature equation by employing the concept of non-commutative cross-ratio. Then we revisit this discrete map, as well as its continuous limit, from the perspective of non-commutative Laurent bi-orthogonal polynomials. Finally, the Poisson structure for this discrete non-commutative map is formulated with the help of a non-commutative network. We aim to enhance our understanding of the integrability properties of the non-commutative leapfrog map and its related mathematical structures through these analysis and constructions.
In a recent work the present authors have shown that the eigenvalue probability density function for Dyson Brownian motion from the identity on $U(N)$ is an example of a newly identified class of random unitary matrices called cyclic Pólya ensembles. In general the latter exhibit a structured form of the correlation kernel. Specialising to the case of Dyson Brownian motion from the identity on $U(N)$ allows the moments of the spectral density, and the spectral form factor $S_N(k;t)$, to be evaluated explicitly in terms of a certain hypergeometric polynomial. Upon transformation, this can be identified in terms of a Jacobi polynomial with parameters $(N(μ- 1),1)$, where $μ= k/N$ and $k$ is the integer labelling the Fourier coefficients. From existing results in the literature for the asymptotics of the latter, the asymptotic forms of the moments of the spectral density can be specified, as can $\lim_{N \to \infty} {1 \over N} S_N(k;t) |_{μ= k/N}$. These in turn allow us to give a quantitative description of the large $N$ behaviour of the average $ \langle | \sum_{l=1}^N e^{ i k x_l} |^2 \rangle$. The latter exhibits a dip-ramp-plateau effect, which is attracting recent interest from the viewpoints of many body quantum chaos, and the scrambling of information in black holes.
This paper is devoted to revealing the relationship between matrix-valued $θ$-deformed bi-orthogonal polynomials and non-commutative Toda-type hierarchies. In this procedure, Wronski quasi-determinants are widely used and play the role of non-commutative $τ$-functions. At the same time, Bäcklund transformations are realized by using a moment modification method and non-commutative $θ$-deformed Volterra hierarchies are obtained, which contain the known examples of the Itoh-Narita-Bogoyavlensky lattices and the fractional Volterra hierarchy.
In this paper, we introduce multiple skew-orthogonal polynomials and investigate their connections with classical integrable systems. By using Pfaffian techniques, we show that multiple skew-orthogonal polynomials can be expressed by multi-component Pfaffian tau-functions upon appropriate deformations. Moreover, a two-component Pfaff lattice hierarchy, which is equivalent to the Pfaff-Toda hierarchy studied by Takasaki, is obtained by considering the recurrence relations and Cauchy transforms of multiple skew-orthogonal polynomials.
Matrix-valued Cauchy bi-orthogonal polynomials were proposed in this paper, together with its quasideterminant expression. It is shown that the coefficients in four-term recurrence relation for matrix-valued Cauchy bi-orthogonal polynomials should satisfy a novel noncommutative integrable system, whose Lax pair is given by fractional differential operators with non-abelian variables.
Inspired by Aomoto's $q$-Selberg integral, the orthogonal ensemble in the exponential lattice is considered in this paper. By introducing a skew symmetric kernel, the configuration space of this ensemble is constructed to be symmetric and thus, corresponding skew inner product, skew orthogonal polynomials as well as correlation functions are explicitly formulated. Examples including Al-Salam & Carlitz, $q$-Laguerre, little $q$-Jacobi and big $q$-Jacobi cases are considered.
The framework of spherical transforms and Pólya ensembles is of utility in deriving structured analytic results for sums and products of random matrices in a unified way. In the present work, we will carry over this framework to study products of unitary matrices. Those are not distributed via the Haar measure, but still are drawn from distributions where the eigenvalue and eigenvector statistics factorise. They include the circular Jacobi ensemble, known in relation to the Fisher-Hartwig singularity in the theory of Toeplitz determinants, as well as the heat kernel for Brownian motion on the unitary group. We define cyclic Pólya frequency functions and show their relation to the cyclic Pólya ensembles, give a uniqueness statement for the corresponding weights, and derive the determinantal point processes of the eigenvalue statistics at fixed matrix dimension. An outline is given of problems one may encounter when investigating the local spectral statistics.
The generalisation of continuous orthogonal polynomial ensembles from random matrix theory to the $q$-lattice setting is considered. We take up the task of initiating a systematic study of the corresponding moments of the density from two complementary viewpoints. The first requires knowledge of the ensemble average with respect to a general Schur polynomial, from which the spectral moments follow as a corollary. In the case of little $q$-Laguerre weight, a particular ${}_3 ϕ_2$ basic hypergeometric polynomial is used to express density moments. The second approach is to study the $q$-Laplace transform of the un-normalised measure. Using integrability properties associated with the $q$-Pearson equation for the $q$-classical weights, a fourth order $q$-difference equation is obtained, generalising a result of Ledoux in the continuous classical cases.
A connection between matrix orthogonal polynomials and non-abelian integrable lattices is investigated in this paper. The normalization factors of matrix orthogonal polynomials expressed by quasi-determinant are shown to be solutions of non-abelian Toda lattice in semi-discrete and full-discrete cases. Moreover, with a moment modification method, we demonstrate that the Bäcklund transformation of non-abelian Toda given by Popowicz is equivalent to the non-abelian Volterra lattice, whose solutions could be expressed by quasi-determinants as well.
The Bures-Hall ensemble is a unique measure of density matrices that satisfies various distinguished properties in quantum information processing. In this work, we study the statistical behavior of entanglement over the Bures-Hall ensemble as measured by the simplest form of an entanglement entropy - the quantum purity. The main results of this work are the exact second and third moment expressions of quantum purity valid for any subsystem dimensions, where the corresponding results in the literature are limited to the scenario of equal subsystem dimensions. In obtaining the results, we have derived recurrence relations of the underlying integrals over the Cauchy-Laguerre biorthogonal polynomials that may be of independent interest.
This paper is to evaluate certain Catalan-Hankel Pfaffians by the theory of skew orthogonal polynomials. Due to different kinds of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials underlying the Askey scheme, we explicitly construct the classical skew orthogonal polynomials and then give different examples of Catalan-Hankel Pfaffians with continuous and $q$-moment sequences.
Previous works have considered the leading correction term to the scaled limit of various correlation functions and distributions for classical random matrix ensembles and their $β$ generalisations at the hard and soft edge. It has been found that the functional form of this correction is given by a derivative operation applied to the leading term. In the present work we compute the leading correction term of the correlation kernel at the spectrum singularity for the circular Jacobi ensemble with Dyson indices $β= 1,2$ and 4, and also to the spectral density in the corresponding $β$-ensemble with $β$ even. The former requires an analysis involving the Routh-Romanovski polynomials, while the latter is based on multidimensional integral formulas for generalised hypergeometric series based on Jack polynomials. In all cases this correction term is found to be related to the leading term by a derivative operation.
The theory of Pólya ensembles of positive definite random matrices provides structural formulas for the corresponding biorthogonal pair, and correlation kernel, which are well suited to computing the hard edge large $N$ asymptotics. Such an analysis is carried out for products of Laguerre ensembles, the Laguerre Muttalib-Borodin ensemble, and products of Laguerre ensembles and their inverses. The latter includes as a special case the Jacobi unitary ensemble. In each case the hard edge scaled kernel permits an expansion in powers of $1/N$, with the leading term given in a structured form involving the hard edge scaling of the biorthogonal pair. The Laguerre and Jacobi ensembles have the special feature that their hard edge scaled kernel -- the Bessel kernel -- is symmetric and this leads to there being a choice of hard edge scaling variables for which the rate of convergence of the correlation functions is $O(1/N^2)$.
