چکیده
We study the asymptotics of recurrence coefficients for monic orthogonal polynomials πn(z) with the quartic exponential weight exp[−N( 1 2z2 + 14 tz)], where t ∈ C and N ∈ N, N → ∞. Our goal is to describe these asymptotic behaviors globally for t ∈ C in different regions. We also describe the “breaking” curves separating these regions, and discuss their special (critical) points. All these pieces of information combined provide the global asymptotic “phase portrait” of the recurrence coefficients of πn(z), which was studied numerically in [Constr. Approx. 41 (2015), 529–587, arXiv:1108.0321]. The main goal of the present paper is to provide a rigorous framework for the global asymptotic portrait through the nonlinear steepest descent analysis (with the g-function mechanism) of the corresponding Riemann–Hilbert problem (RHP) and the continuation in the parameter space principle. The latter allows to extend the nonlinear steepest descent analysis from some parts of the complex t-plane to all noncritical values of t. We also provide explicit solutions for recurrence coefficients in terms of the Riemann theta functions. The leading order behaviour of the recurrence coefficients in the full scaling neighbourhoods the critical points (double and triple scaling limits) was obtained in [Constr. Approx. 41 (2015), 529–587, arXiv:1108.0321] and [Asymptotics of complex orthogonal polynomials on the cross with varying quartic weight: critical point behaviour and the second Painlevé transcendents, in preparation].

Semiclassical asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials , Riemann - Hilbert problem , and universality in the matrix model
We derive semiclassical asymptotics for the orthogonal polynomials P n (z) on the line with respect to the exponential weight exp(−NV (z)), where V (z) is a double-well quartic polynomial, in the limit when n, N → ∞. We assume that ε ≤ (n/N) ≤ λ cr − ε for some ε > 0, where λ cr is the critical value which separates orthogonal polynomials with two cuts from the ones with one cut. Simultaneously...

We study polynomials that are orthogonal with respect to a varying quartic weight exp(−N (x 2 /2+tx 4 /4)) for t < 0, where the orthogonal-ity takes place on certain contours in the complex plane. Inspired by developments in 2D quantum gravity, Fokas, Its, and Kitaev, showed that there exists a critical value for t around which the asymptotics of the recurrence coefficients are described in ter...
متن کاملAsymptotic zero distribution of complex orthogonal polynomials associated with Gaussian quadrature
In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of a family of polynomials which are orthogonal with respect to an exponential weight on certain contours of the complex plane. The zeros of these polynomials are the nodes for complex Gaussian quadrature of an oscillatory integral on the real axis with a high order stationary point, and their limit distribution is also analyzed. We show that the z...
متن کاملOrthogonal polynomials in the normal matrix model with a cubic potential
We consider the normal matrix model with a cubic potential. The model is ill-defined, and in order to reguralize it, Elbau and Felder introduced a model with a cut-off and corresponding system of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a varying exponential weight on the cut-off region on the complex plane. In the present paper we show how to define orthogonal polynomials on a specially chosen s...

We consider orthogonal polynomials {pn,N(x)}n=0 on the real line with respect to a weight w(x) = e (x) and in particular the asymptotic behaviour of the coefficients an,N and bn,N in the three term recurrence xπn,N (x) = πn+1,N (x)+bn,Nπn,N (x)+an,Nπn−1,N (x). For one-cut regular V we show, using the Deift-Zhou method of steepest descent for Riemann-Hilbert problems, that the diagonal recurrenc...
