Applications of a Commutation Formula II

Percy Deift, Fritz Gesztesy

The principal {\it commutation formula} underlying the paper by Deift [24], is of the type \[ - z (AB - z I)^{-1} + A (BA - z I)^{-1} B = I, \quad z \in [ρ(AB) \cap ρ(BA)]\backslas…

Recurrence Coefficients for Orthogonal Polynomials with a Logarithmic Weight Function

Percy Deift, Mateusz Piorkowski

We prove an asymptotic formula for the recurrence coefficients of orthogonal polynomials with orthogonality measure on . The asymp…

Harold Widom's work in random matrix theory

Ivan Corwin, Percy Deift, Alexander Its

This is a survey of Harold Widom's work in random matrices. We start with his pioneering papers on the sine-kernel determinant, continue with his and Craig Tracy's groundbreaking r…

On the open Toda chain with external forcing

Percy Deift, Luen-Chau Li, Herbert Spohn +2

We consider the open Toda chain with external forcing, and in the case when the forcing stretches the system, we derive the longtime behavior of solutions of the chain. Using an ob…

Stopping time signatures for some algorithms in cryptography

Percy Deift, Stephen D. Miller, Thomas Trogdon

We consider the normalized distribution of the overall running times of some cryptographic algorithms, and what information they reveal about the algorithms. Recent work of Deift,…

Riemann--Hilbert Problems

Percy Deift

These lectures introduce the method of nonlinear steepest descent for Riemann-Hilbert problems. This method finds use in studying asymptotics associated to a variety of special fun…
