Asymptotics of Selberg-like integrals by lattice path counting (Q531294)

Explicit expressions for positive integer moments of the probability density of eigenvalues of the Jacobi and Laguerre random matrix ensembles, in the asymptotic regime of large dimension are obtained. These densities are closely related to the Selberg and Selberg-like multidimensional integrals. The method of solution applied is combinatorial: it consists in the enumeration of certain classes of lattice paths associated to the solution of recurrence relations. Quantum transport with Jacobi ensembles are considered where Dyck paths are involved. Then more complex Laguerre ensembles with Motzkin paths are discussed. The distribution of proper delay times in quantum chaotic scattering is dealt with introducing Schröder paths. Finally Jacobi ensembles with arbitrary \(\gamma\)-parameter of the Selberg kernel, which involve lattice paths with four types of steps, are studied.
