Logarithmic and complex constant term identities

In recent work on the representation theory of vertex algebras related to the Virasoro minimal models M(2,p), Adamovic and Milas discovered logarithmic analogues of (special cases of) the famous Dyson and Morris constant term identities. In this paper we show how the identities of Adamovic and Milas arise naturally by differentiating as-yet-conjectural complex analogues of the constant term identities of Dyson and Morris. We also discuss the existence of complex and logarithmic constant term identities for arbitrary root systems, and in particular prove complex and logarithmic constant term identities for the root system G_2.Comment: 26 page

Jack vertex operators and realization of Jack functions

We give an iterative method to realize general Jack functions from Jack functions of rectangular shapes. We first show some cases of Stanley's conjecture on positivity of the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients, and then use this method to give a new realization of Jack functions. We also show in general that vectors of products of Jack vertex operators form a basis of symmetric functions. In particular this gives a new proof of linear independence for the rectangular and marked rectangular Jack vertex operators. Thirdly a generalized Frobenius formula for Jack functions was given and was used to give new evaluation of Dyson integrals and even powers of Vandermonde determinant.Comment: Expanded versio

On absolute moments of characteristic polynomials of a certain class of complex random matrices

Integer moments of the spectral determinant $|\det(zI-W)|^2$ of complex random matrices $W$ are obtained in terms of the characteristic polynomial of the Hermitian matrix $WW^*$ for the class of matrices $W=AU$ where $A$ is a given matrix and $U$ is random unitary. This work is motivated by studies of complex eigenvalues of random matrices and potential applications of the obtained results in this context are discussed.Comment: 41 page, typos correcte

Asymptotics for products of characteristic polynomials in classical β\beta-Ensembles

We study the local properties of eigenvalues for the Hermite (Gaussian), Laguerre (Chiral) and Jacobi $\beta$-ensembles of $N\times N$ random matrices. More specifically, we calculate scaling limits of the expectation value of products of characteristic polynomials as $N\to\infty$. In the bulk of the spectrum of each $\beta$-ensemble, the same scaling limit is found to be $e^{p_{1}}{}_1F_{1}$ whose exact expansion in terms of Jack polynomials is well known. The scaling limit at the soft edge of the spectrum for the Hermite and Laguerre $\beta$-ensembles is shown to be a multivariate Airy function, which is defined as a generalized Kontsevich integral. As corollaries, when $\beta$ is even, scaling limits of the $k$-point correlation functions for the three ensembles are obtained. The asymptotics of the multivariate Airy function for large and small arguments is also given. All the asymptotic results rely on a generalization of Watson's lemma and the steepest descent method for integrals of Selberg type.Comment: [v3] 35 pages; this is a revised and enlarged version of the article with new references, simplified demonstations, and improved presentation.
