Planar Orthogonal Polynomials as Type I Multiple Orthogonal Polynomials (2212.06526v2)

Abstract: A recent result of S.-Y. Lee and M. Yang states that the planar orthogonal polynomials orthogonal with respect to a modified Gaussian measure are multiple orthogonal polynomials of type II on a contour in the complex plane. We show that the same polynomials are also type I orthogonal polynomials on a contour, provided the exponents in the weight are integer. From this orthogonality, we derive several equivalent Riemann-Hilbert problems. The proof is based on the fundamental identity of Lee and Yang, which we establish using a new technique.
