A vector Riemann-Hilbert approach to the Muttalib-Borodin ensembles

In this paper, we consider Muttalib-Borodin ensemble of Laguerre type, a determinantal point process over $[0,\infty)$ which depends on the varying weights $x^αe^{-nV(x)}$, $α>-1$, and a parameter $θ$. For $θ$ being a positive integer, we derive asymptotics of the associated biorthogonal polynomials near the origin for a large class of potential functions $V$ as $n\to \infty$. This further allows us to establish the hard edge scaling limit of the correlation kernel, which is previously only known in the special cases and conjectured to be universal. Our proof is based on the Deift/Zhou nonlinear steepest descent analysis of two $1 \times 2$ vector-valued Riemann-Hilbert problems that characterize the biorthogonal polynomials and the explicit constructions of $(θ+1)\times(θ+1)$ local parametrices near the origin in terms of the Meijer G-functions.
