Superharmonic perturbations of a Gaussian measure, equilibrium measures and orthogonal polynomials (Q841668)

In this paper, the authors study superharmonic perturbations of Gaussian measures given by a special class of positive weights in the complex plane of the form \(w(z)=\exp (-\left| z\right| ^{2}+U^{\mu }(z))\), where \( U^{\mu }(z)\) is the logarithmic potential of a compactly supported positive measure \(\mu\). For a large class of perturbing potentials \(U^{\mu }(z)\), they show that the equilibrium measure of the corresponding weighted energy problem is supported by a generalized subharmonic quadrature domain. Among other things, they also show 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.
