Title:  Non-intersecting Brownian motions on the circle and discrete Gaussian orthogonal polynomials

Abstract:   I will discuss the relation between the non-intersecting Brownian motions on a circle, where n particles start from a common point and end at a common point after a time, and the discrete Gaussian orthogonal polynomials, i.e., discrete orthogonal polynomials with respect to the weight exp(-x^2). I will show that as the number of particles goes to infinity, the asymptotics of the discrete Gaussian orthogonal polynomials give rise to the asymptotic behaviours of the non-intersecting Brownian motions, such as the limiting Sine process, Airy process etc. This is joint work with Karl Liechty.
