Duality in random matrix ensembles for all Beta

Gaussian and Chiral Beta-Ensembles, which generalise well known orthogonal (Beta=1), unitary (Beta=2), and symplectic (Beta=4) ensembles of random Hermitian matrices, are considered. Averages are shown to satisfy duality relations like {Beta,N,n} <--> {4/Beta,n,N} for all Beta>0, where N and n respectively denote the number of eigenvalues and products of characteristic polynomials. At the edge of the spectrum, matrix integrals of the Airy (Kontsevich) type are obtained. Consequences on the integral representation of the multiple orthogonal polynomials and the partition function of the formal one-matrix model are also discussed. Proofs rely on the theory of multivariate symmetric polynomials, especially Jack polynomials.
