Average characteristic polynomials in the two-matrix model

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The two-matrix model is defined on pairs of Hermitian matrices (M1,M2) of size nimesn by the probability measure frac{1}{Z_n} expleft( extrm{Tr} (-V(M_1)-W(M_2)+ au M_1M_2) ight) dM_1 dM_2, where V and W are given potential functions and auiner. We study averages of products and ratios of characteristic polynomials in the two-matrix model, where both matrices M1 and M2 may appear in a combined way in both numerator and denominator. We obtain determinantal expressions for such averages. The determinants are constructed from several building blocks: the biorthogonal polynomials pn(x) and qn(y) associated to the two-matrix model; certain transformed functions Pn(w) and Qn(v); and finally Cauchy-type transforms of the four Eynard-Mehta kernels K1,1, K1,2, K2,1 and K2,2. In this way we generalize known results for the 1-matrix model. Our results also imply a new proof of the Eynard-Mehta theorem for correlation functions in the two-matrix model, and they lead to a generating function for averages of products of traces.
