Applied Maths Seminar: Desiraju -- Orthogonal polynomials on elliptic curves and Painleve VI

Dear all, 

Our upcoming AM seminar is held next Wed 3 May at 1pm in F11 Chemistry Lecture Theatre
4.  Our speaker is Harini Desiraju (Sydney).  

Talk details follow below:

Title: Orthogonal polynomials on elliptic curves and Painleve VI 

Abstract: Elliptic orthogonal polynomials are a family of special functions that satisfy
a certain orthogonality condition with respect to a weight function on an elliptic
curve.  Building up on several recent works on the topic, we establish a framework using
Riemann-Hilbert problems to study such polynomials.  When the weight function is
constant, these polynomials relate to the elliptic form of the sixth Painleve equation.
This talk is based on an ongoing work with Tomas Latimer and Pieter Roffelsen.
