Abstract: We study a model of n non-intersecting squared Bessel processes in the confluent case: all paths start at time t=0 at the same positive value x=a, remain positive, and are conditioned to end at time t=T at x=0. In the limit noinfty, after appropriate rescaling, the paths fill out a region in the tx-plane that we describe explicitly. In particular, the paths initially stay away from the hard edge at x=0, but at a certain critical time t* the smallest paths hit the hard edge and from then on are stuck to it. For teqt we obtain the usual scaling limits from random matrix theory, namely the sine, Airy, and Bessel kernels. A key fact is that the positions of the paths at any time t constitute a multiple orthogonal polynomial ensemble, corresponding to a system of two modified Bessel-type weights. As a consequence, there is a 3imes3 matrix valued Riemann-Hilbert problem characterizing this model, that we analyze in the large n limit using the Deift-Zhou steepest descent method. There are some novel ingredients in the Riemann-Hilbert analysis that are of independent interest.
