Abstract

We establish a representation of the joint moments of the characteristic polynomial of a CUE random matrix and its derivative in terms of a solution of the σ-Painlevé V equation. The derivation involves the analysis of a formula for the joint moments in terms of a determinant of generalised Laguerre polynomials using the Riemann-Hilbert method. We use this connection with the σ-Painlevé V equation to derive explicit formulae for the joint moments and to show that in the large-matrix limit the joint moments are related to a solution of the σ-Painlevé III' equation. Using the conformal block expansion of the τ-functions associated with the σ-Painlevé V and the σ-Painlevé III equations leads to general conjectures for the joint moments.
