Limits for circular Jacobi beta-ensembles

Bourgade, Nikeghbali and Rouault recently proposed a matrix model for the circular Jacobi $β$-ensemble, which is a generalization of the Dyson circular $β$-ensemble but equipped with an additional parameter $b$, and further studied its limiting spectral measure. We calculate the scaling limits for expected products of characteristic polynomials of circular Jacobi $β$-ensembles. For the fixed constant $b$, the resulting limit near the spectrum singularity is proven to be a new multivariate function. When $b=βNd/2$, the scaling limits in the bulk and at the soft edge agree with those of the Hermite (Gaussian), Laguerre (Chiral) and Jacobi $β$-ensembles proved in the joint work with P Desrosiers "Asymptotics for products of characteristic polynomials in classical beta-ensembles", Constr. Approx. 39 (2014), arXiv:1112.1119v3. As corollaries, for even $β$ the scaling limits of point correlation functions for the ensemble are given. Besides, a transition from the spectrum singularity to the soft edge limit is observed as $b$ goes to infinity. The positivity of two special multivariate hypergeometric functions, which appear as one factor of the joint eigenvalue densities for spiked Jacobi/Wishart $β$-ensembles and Gaussian $β$-ensembles with source, will also be shown.
