Strong Asymptotics of Planar Orthogonal Polynomials: Gaussian Weight Perturbed by Finite Number of Point Charges

Abstract: We consider the planar orthogonal polynomial

p_{n} (z)

with respect to the measure supported on the whole complex plane

{ m e}^{-N|z|^2} prod_{j=1}^ u |z-a_j|^{2c_j},{ m d} A(z)

where

m d A

is the Lebesgue measure of the plane,

N

is a positive constant,

c_{1}, c d o t s, c_{u}

are nonzero real numbers greater than

- 1

and

a_{1}, c d o t s, a_{u} s u b s e t m a t h b b D s e t m i n u s 0

are distinct points inside the unit disk. In the scaling limit when

n / N = 1

and

n o i n f t y

we obtain the strong asymptotics of the polynomial

p_{n} (z)

. We show that the support of the roots converges to what we call the "multiple Szego curve," a certain connected curve having

u + 1

components in its complement. We apply the nonlinear steepest descent method on the matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem of size

(u + 1) i m e s (u + 1)

.
