Abstract

The three subjects mentioned in the title may appear to be totally unrelated.  But they are now beautifully connected in some recent investigations on the asymptotic behavior or orthogonal polynomials.  In this lecture, I will illustrate this connection with the orthogonal polynomials associated with the exponential weight , where  is an integer and  is the double-well potential with  being an arbitrary real number.
