On the limit of some Toeplitz-like determinants
In this article we derive, using standard methods of Toeplitz theory, an
asymptotic formula for certain large minors of Toeplitz matrices. D. Bump and
P. Diaconis obtained the same asymptotics using representation theory, with an
answer having a different form.Comment: LaTeX file, 3 page
Toeplitz minors and specializations of skew Schur polynomials
We express minors of Toeplitz matrices of finite and large dimension in terms
of symmetric functions. Comparing the resulting expressions with the inverses
of some Toeplitz matrices, we obtain explicit formulas for a Selberg-Morris
integral and for specializations of certain skew Schur polynomials.Comment: v2: Added new results on specializations of skew Schur polynomials,
abstract and title modified accordingly and references added; v3: final,
published version; 18 page
Matrix models for classical groups and ToeplitzHankel minors with applications to Chern-Simons theory and fermionic models
We study matrix integration over the classical Lie groups
and , using symmetric function theory and the equivalent formulation
in terms of determinants and minors of ToeplitzHankel matrices. We
establish a number of factorizations and expansions for such integrals, also
with insertions of irreducible characters. As a specific example, we compute
both at finite and large the partition functions, Wilson loops and Hopf
links of Chern-Simons theory on with the aforementioned symmetry
groups. The identities found for the general models translate in this context
to relations between observables of the theory. Finally, we use character
expansions to evaluate averages in random matrix ensembles of Chern-Simons
type, describing the spectra of solvable fermionic models with matrix degrees
of freedom.Comment: 32 pages, v2: Several improvements, including a Conclusions and
Outlook section, added. 36 page
