Abstract: In this paper we study the asymptotics (as noinfty) of the sequences of Laguerre polynomials with varying complex parameters alpha depending on the degree n. More precisely, we assume that alphan=nAn, and limnAn=AinmathbbC. This study has been carried out previously only for alphaninmathbbR, but complex values of A introduce an asymmetry that makes the problem more difficult. The main ingredient of the asymptotic analysis is the right choice of the contour of orthogonality, which requires the analysis of the global structure of trajectories of an associated quadratic differential on the complex plane, which may have an independent interest. While the weak asymptotics is obtained by reduction to the theorem of Gonchar--Rakhmanov--Stahl, the strong asymptotic results are derived via the non-commutative steepest descent analysis based on the Riemann-Hilbert characterization of the Laguerre polynomials.
