Abstract: We find a local (d+1)imes(d+1) Riemann-Hilbert problem characterizing the skew-orthogonal polynomials associated to the partition function of the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble of random matrices with a potential function of degree d. Our Riemann-Hilbert problem is similar to a local dimesd Riemann-Hilbert problem found by Kuijlaars and McLaughlin characterizing the bi-orthogonal polynomials. This gives more motivation for finding methods to compute asymptotics of high order Riemann-Hilbert problems, and brings us closer to finding asymptotics of the skew-orthogonal polynomials.


Let \(V\) be a polynomial of degree \(d\). Consider the skew-symmetric form \[ \langle f,g \rangle_1 = \int\int_{\mathbb{R}^2}\,f(x)g(y)\,\text{sign}(x-y)e^{-V(x)-V(y)}\,dx\,dy. \] The author considers a local \((d+1)\times(d+1)\) Riemann-Hilbert problem that characterizes the skew-orthogonal polynomials associated with the form \(\langle\,,\,\rangle_1\).
