Discrete spectral transformations of skew orthogonal polynomials are presented. From these spectral transformations, it is shown that the corresponding discrete integrable systems are derived both in 1+1 dimension and in 2+1 dimension. Especially in the (2+1)- dimensional case, the corresponding system can be extended to 2 × 2 matrix form. The factorization theorem of the Christoffel kernel for skew orthogonal polynomials in random matrix theory is presented as a by-product of these transformations.

Over the last twenty years, several integrable systems, both in continuous variable and in discrete variable, have been found to relate to such polynomials through their spectral transformations. One of the well-known results is the relation between ordinary orthogonal polynomials (OPs) and Toda chain (see [5, 21] for further details). For recent years, from this point of view, new types of integrable systems have been derived [23, 22] and the algebraic structures of their solutions also have been discussed in [19, 18]. In this paper, we treat the skew orthogonal polynomials (SOPs), first introduced in the theo- ry of random matrices [7]. It is known that the continuous spectral transformation of SOPs induces the semi-discrete integrable system, known as Pfaff lattice [2, 3], and its relations to the Lie algebra, geometry and matrix eigenvalue problems are discussed in [2, 14, 15] respectively. Although, the full-discrete integrable system associated with SOPs, namely the discrete coun- terpart of Pfaff lattice, still remains to be found and even the discrete spectral transformation of SOPs is not obtained. Recalling the application of the discrete integrable system to several areas such as eigenvalue problems and so on (e.g. [17, 26]), the discrete integrable system associated with SOPs, if obtained, can be expected to have an application or contribution to such areas. We shall derive the corresponding full-discrete integrable systems from their discrete spectral transformations. This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, a brief review of the relationship between OPs and the discrete time Toda equation is given and we propose the discrete spectral transformation of SOPs. From these transformations, we derive the corresponding discrete integrable system, mailto:miki@amp.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp mailto:tujimoto@i.kyoto-u.ac.jp http://www-is.amp.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/lab/en/miki/ http://dx.doi.org/10.3842/SIGMA.2012.008 2 H. Miki, H. Goda and S. Tsujimoto which takes (1+1)-dimensional form. In Section 3, another discrete integrable system associated with SOPs is shown to be derived also from their discrete spectral transformations, which takes (2 + 1)-dimensional form. In Section 4, we also show that the system obtained in Section 3 can be extended to 2× 2 matrix form. In Section 5, concluding remarks are presented. 2 Skew orthogonal polynomials We first briefly review a relation between the discrete Toda time equation and the discrete spectral transformation of OPs according to [21]. The discrete time Toda equation (on semi- infinite lattice) U tnV t n = U t+1 n−1V t+1 n , U tn + V t n+1 = U t+1 n + V t+1 n , V t 0 = 0, is known to admit the following discrete Lax pair: xΦt+1 =  U t0 1 U t1 1 U t2 1 . . . . . . Φt, Φt =  1 V t 1 1 V t 2 1 . . . . . . Φt+1, (1) where x is a spectral parameter and Φt = (φt0(x), φt1(x), . . . )T is a wave function. From (1), we obtain xΦt+1 =  U t0 + V t 1 1 U t1V t 1 U t1 + V t 2 1 U t2V t 2 U t2 + V t 3 1 . . . . . . . . . Φt+1, for all t. If we normalize φt0(x) = 1, Favard’s theorem shows that {φtn(x)}∞n=0 is a sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials, i.e. there exists some linear functional Lt : R[x]→ R such that Lt[φtm(x)φtn(x)] = htnδmn, htn 6= 0. Therefore, one can easily find that the discrete Lax pair (1) is just the discrete spectral trans- formation of orthogonal polynomials known as Christoffel transformation and Geronimus trans- formation [6, 8], respectively. Our main aim is to derive the discrete integrable systems associated with SOPs. To that end, we shall give the discrete spectral transformations of SOPs like Christoffel and Geronimus transformation. We first begin with the definition of SOPs: Definition 1. Let 〈·|·〉 be the bilinear 2-form from R[z] × R[z] to → R which satisfy the skew symmetric relation 〈f(z)|g(z)〉 = −〈g(z)|f(z)〉. This skew-symmetric bilinear 2-form is often called “skew-inner product”. The SOPs {qn(z)}∞n=0 with respect to the skew-inner product 〈·|·〉 are defined as the set of polynomials satisfying the following relations: 〈q2m(z)|q2n+1(z)〉 = rnδmn, rn 6= 0, 〈q2m(z)|q2n(z)〉 = −〈q2m+1(z)|q2n+1(z)〉 = 0, (2) for all nonnegative integers m, n. Discrete Spectral Transformations of SOPs and Associated DIS 3 From now on, unless specified, we assume that SOPs are monic, which ensures the uniqueness of SOPs of even degree. However, SOPs of odd degree have the following ambiguity: the skew orthogonality relation (2) is invariant under the replacement q2n+1(z)→ q2n+1(z) + αnq2n(z), (3) for any αn ∈ R. In many cases, the coefficient of z2n in q2n+1(z) is usually chosen as 0 and then the SOPs are uniquely determined. The discrete spectral transformation of SOPs (that is, the transformation from SOPs to another SOPs) can be constructed. Theorem 1. Let {qn(z)}∞n=0 be SOPs with respect to the skew-inner product 〈·|·〉. Let us denote some constant parameter by λ satisfying λ ∈ {z ∈ C | q2n(z) 6= 0, for all n = 0, 1, . . . }. Consider the new sequence of polynomials {q∗n(z)}∞n=0 defined by q∗2n(z) = 1 z − λ ( n∑ k=0 rn rk · q2k+1(z)q2k(λ)− q2k+1(λ)q2k(z) q2n(λ) ) , (4) q∗2n+1(z) = 1 z − λ ( q2n+2(z)− q2n+2(λ) q2n(λ) q2n(z) ) + αnq ∗ 2n(z), (5) where αn is an arbitrary parameter. Then {q∗n(z)}∞n=0 are again SOPs with respect to the modified skew-inner product 〈·|·〉∗ := 〈(z − λ) · |(z − λ)·〉. (6) Proof. In this proof, because of the equation (3), we take the arbitrary parameter αn = 0 for all n in (5) for simplicity. In order to prove the theorem, it is enough to check the skew orthogonal relation (2) for {q∗n(z)}∞n=0. Using the skew orthogonality relation (2) for {qn(z)}∞n=0, we find 〈q∗2n(z), q∗2m+1(z)〉∗ = 〈(z − λ)q∗2n(z), (z − λ)q∗2m+1(z)〉 = 〈 n∑ k=0 q2k(λ)q2k+1(z)− q2k+1(λ)q2k(z) rkr −1 n q2n(λ) ∣∣∣∣∣ q2m+2(z)− q2m+2(λ) q2m(λ) q2m(z) 〉 = rn q2n(λ) n∑ k=0 〈 q2k(λ)q2k+1(z) rk ∣∣∣∣ q2m+2(z)− q2m+2(λ) q2m(λ) q2m(z) 〉 = q2n+2(λ) q2n(λ) rnδmn. Similarly, direct calculations also show us 〈q∗2m(z), q∗2n(z)〉∗ = 〈q∗2n+1(z), q ∗ 2m+1(z)〉∗ = 0. This completes the proof. � Now observing the discrete spectral transformation of even-degree SOPs (4), one can easily find that except for the multiplier factor, this is equivalent to the Christoffel–Darboux kernel for skew orthogonal polynomials (we will call this “skew-Christoffel kernel”) [9, 16] introduced in the theory of random matrices which takes the form IN (x, y) = N∑ k=0 q2k+1(x)q2k(y)− q2k+1(y)q2k(x) rk , (7) where {qn(z)}∞n=0 are some SOPs. We hence obtain the following corollary: 4 H. Miki, H. Goda and S. Tsujimoto Corollary 1. The skew-Christoffel kernel (7) can be factorized into the two SOPs: IN (x, y) = (x− y) q2N (x)q∗2N (x) rN , (8) where the SOPs q2N (x) and q∗2N (x) are connected to each other by the spectral transformation (2) with z = x, λ = y. There exist many works on the skew-Christoffel kernel for the specific weight cases (see e.g. [1, 9]). Here we stress that the factorization (8) holds not only for the case mentioned above but also for any well-defined skew inner product. Especially, consider the skew inner product in orthogonal and symplectic ensemble given by: 〈f(z)|g(z)〉orthogonal = ∫∫ D2 sgn(z1 − z2)f(z1)g(z2)w(z1)w(z2)dz1dz2, 〈f(z)|g(z)〉symplectic = ∫ D (f(z)g′(z)− f ′(z)g(z))w(z)dz, (9) where f ′(z) = d dzf(z) and D, w(z) are the corresponding integral domain and weight function respectively. For such skew inner product, the modified skew inner product (6) can be written as follows: 〈(z − λ)f(z)|(z − λ)g(z)〉orthogonal = ∫∫ D2 sgn(z1 − z2)f(z1)g(z2)w̄(z1)w̄(z2)dz1dz2, 〈(z − λ)f(z)|(z − λ)g(z)〉symplectic = ∫ D (f(z)g′(z)− f ′(z)g(z))w̄(z)dz, with w̄(z) = (z − λ)w(z). This shows that the skew-Christoffel kernel in random matrix theory can be factorized into two even-degree SOPs with respect to the different weight function. Remark 1. Similar relations hold between the Christoffel transformation of OPs and the Christoffel kernels. Hence we call the discrete spectral transformation (4), (5) as the skew- Christoffel transformation. Iterating the skew-Christoffel transformation, we obtain a sequence of SOPs by the following procedure: q0n(z) := qn(z), qt+1 2n (z) := 1 z − λ ( qt2n+1(z) + n∑ k=0 Atn,kq t 2k(z) + n−1∑ k=0 Bt n,kq t 2k+1(z) ) , qt+1 2n+1(z) := 1 z − λ ( qt2n+2(z) + Ctnq t 2n(z) ) + αtnq t+1 2n (z), where Atn,k = rtn rtk · qt2k(λ) qt2n(λ) , Bt n,k = −r t n rtk · qt2k+1(λ) qt2n(λ) , Ctn = − qt2n+2(λ) qt2n(λ) . Here we denote the corresponding skew-inner product by 〈·|·〉t. Then, skew-orthogonality rela- tions are given as follows: 〈·|·〉0 := 〈·|·〉, 〈·|·〉t+1 := 〈(z − λ) · |(z − λ)·〉t, 〈qt2m(z), qt2n+1(z)〉t = rtnδmn, 〈qt2m(z), qt2n(z)〉t = 〈qt2m+1(z), q t 2n+1(z)〉t = 0. (10) For simplicity, we assume αtn = 0. Discrete Spectral Transformations of SOPs and Associated DIS 5 We then proceed to find the inverse transformation of the skew-Christoffel transformation. Using the skew-orthogonality relation (2), we can indeed construct the different contiguous relations between {qtn(z)}∞n=0 and {qt+1 n (z)}∞n=0 as follows: qt2n(z) = qt+1 2n (z) + n−1∑ k=0 αtn,kq t+1 2k (z) + n−1∑ k=0 βtn,kq t+1 2k+1(z), qt2n+1(z) = qt+1 2n+1(z) + n∑ k=0 γtn,kq t+1 2k (z) + n−1∑ k=0 εtn,kq t+1 2k+1(z), (11) where αtn,k = 1 rt+1 k 〈(z − λ)qt+1 2n (z)|(z − λ)qt+1 2k+1(z)〉 t, βtn,k = 1 rt+1 k 〈(z − λ)qt+1 2k (z)|(z − λ)qt+1 2n (z)〉t, γtn,k = 1 rt+1 k 〈(z − λ)qt2n+1(z)|(z − λ)qt+1 2k+1(z)〉 t, εtn,k = 1 rt+1 k 〈(z − λ)qt+1 2k (z)|(z − λ)qt2n+1(z)〉t. Combining (10) and (11), we can form the following Lax pair: (z − λ)Φt+1 = LtΦt :=  At0,0 1 Ct0 0 1 At1,0 Bt 1,0 At1,1 1 0 0 Ct1 0 1 ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Φt, Φt = RtΦt+1 :=  1 γt0,0 1 αt1,0 βt1,0 1 γt1,0 εt1,0 γt1,1 1 ... . . . . . . . . . . . . Φt+1, (12) where the wave-function Φt = (qt0(z), q t 1(z), q t 2(z), . . . ) T is the sequence of SOPs. From the compatibility condition of (12), the discrete Lax equation is derived: LtRt = Rt+1Lt+1. (13) We can observe that if we take the suitable limit, the second equation of (10) goes to the relation: d dt 〈·|·〉 = 〈z · |·〉+ 〈·|z·〉, which appears in the Pfaff lattice proposed by Adler et al. [2]. The discrete Lax equation (13) thus can be considered to be the discrete counterpart of the Pfaff lattice. 3 Discrete integrable systems of SOPs in 2 + 1 dimension In the previous section, we derive the discrete integrable system (13) from the discrete spectral transformation of SOPs. However the system is non-local and therefore complicated. The 6 H. Miki, H. Goda and S. Tsujimoto similar problem occurs in the case of ordinary biorthogonal polynomials and discrete two- dimensional Toda (discrete KP) equation. This problem can be solved by introducing “another time-evolution” [25]. Furthermore, observing the relation between skew-Christoffel kernel and SOPs (8), one can realize that only even-degree SOPs appear. We hence expect that even- degree SOPs play an crucial role in the corresponding discrete integrable systems. Due to the guiding principles mentioned above, we shall construct the discrete integrable systems in (2 + 1)-dimensional form associated with only even-degree SOPs. Let 〈·|·〉s,t be a skew-inner product such that 〈·|·〉s+1,t = 〈(z − µ) · |(z − µ)·〉s,t, 〈·|·〉s,t+1 = 〈(z − λ) · |(z − λ)·〉s,t, (14) where we assume λ 6= µ. We denote the corresponding SOPs by {qs,tn (z)}∞n=0. From Theorem 1, {qs,tn (z)}∞n=0 and {qs+1,t n (z)}∞n=0 are connected by the relation (4) and (5) with λ = µ. Similarly, {qs,tn (z)}∞n=0 are also related to {qs,t+1 n (z)}∞n=0 by (4) and (5). We shall find the local contiguous relations among {qs,tn (z)}∞n=0. To that end, we first recall the Pfaffian expression of ordinary SOPs [2], which will play a crucial role in the following sections. Pfaffians are defined by: Pf(i0, . . . , i2n−1) := ∑ σ∈S2n sgnσ n!2n ∏ 0≤i≤n−1 Pf(iσ(2i), iσ(2i+1)), where the elements of Pfaffians Pf(i, j) are supposed to satisfy the skew-symmetric relation: Pf(i, j) = −Pf(j, i). (15) From the definition of Pfaffians, we can find the following properties of Pfaffians which resemble those of determinants: Pf(i0, . . . , i2n−1) = 2n−2∑ k=0 (−1)k(ik, i2n−1)(i0, . . . , îk, . . . , i2n−2), (16) Pf(i0, . . . , a · ia + b · ib, . . . , i2n−1) = aPf(i0, . . . , ia, . . . , i2n−1) + bPf(i0, . . . , ib, . . . , i2n−1), (17) Pf(. . . , s, . . . , s, . . . ) = 0, (18) where ĵ means the deletion of j and Pf(i, a · ia + b · ib) := aPf(i, ia) + bPf(i, ib). (19) For further details of Pfaffians, see e.g. [13, 20]. Employing the “skew” moments 〈zi|zj〉 as the elements of Pfaffians, SOPs can be written in terms of Pfaffians as well as ordinary OPs in terms of determinants. Proposition 1 ([2]). The SOPs with respect to 〈·|·〉 can be expressed in terms of Pfaffians: q2n(z) = Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n, z) Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n− 1) , q2n+1(z) = q2n(z) = Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n− 1, 2n+ 1, z) Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n− 1) + αnq2n(z), where αn is an arbitrary parameter and the elements of Pfaffians are defined by Pf(i, j) = 〈zi|zj〉, Pf(i, z) = zi for all nonnegative integers i, j. Discrete Spectral Transformations of SOPs and Associated DIS 7 Extending this proposition, we have obtained the Pfaffian expressions of the time-evolved even degree SOPs. Theorem 2. The even degree SOPs {qs,t2n(z)}∞n=0,{qs+1,t 2n (z)}∞n=0,{qs,t+1 2n (z)}∞n=0, {qs+1,t+1 2n (z)}∞n=0 can be written in terms of the moments with respect to 〈·|·〉s,t: qs,t2n(z) = Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n, z) Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n− 1) , qs+1,t 2n (z) = 1 z − µ · Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n+ 1, µ, z) Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n, µ) , qs,t+1 2n (z) = 1 z − λ · Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n+ 1, λ, z) Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n, λ) , qs+1,t+1 2n (z) = 1 (z − µ)(z − λ) · Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n+ 2, µ, λ, z) Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n+ 1, µ, λ) , (20) where the elements of Pfaffians are defined by Pf(i, j) = ss,ti,j := 〈zi|zj〉s,t, Pf(i, z) = zi, Pf(i, λ) = λi, Pf(i, µ) = µi, Pf(z, µ) = Pf(µ, λ) = Pf(λ, z) = 0. (21) Before proving this theorem, we show the properties of the Pfaffian elements. Lemma 1. Employing the notation (19) in (17), for the elements of the Pfaffians defined by (21), the following properties hold: Pf((i+ 1)− µ · i, (j + 1)− µ · j) = Pf(i+ 1, j + 1)− µPf(i+ 1, j)− µPf(i, j) + µ2Pf(i, j), Pf((i+ 1)− µ · i, µ) = 0. Proof. Following the definition (19) and anti-symmetric property of Pfaffian elements (15), one can find Pf((i+ 1)− µ · i, (j + 1)− µ · j) = Pf((i+ 1)− µ · i, j + 1)− µPf((i+ 1)− µ · i, j) = −Pf(j + 1, (i+ 1)− µ · i, ) + µPf(j, µ(i+ 1)− µ · i) = −Pf(j + 1, i+ 1)− µPf(j + 1, i) + µPf(j, i+ 1)− µ2Pf(j, i) = Pf(i+ 1, j + 1)− µPf(i+ 1, j)− µPf(i, j) + µ2Pf(i, j). One can also find Pf(i+ 1− µ · i, µ) = Pf(i+ 1, µ)− µPf(i, µ) = µi+1 − µi+1 = 0. This completes the proof. � Proof of Theorem 2. We introduce the function τ s,tn and τ̂ s,tn as follows: τ s,tn = Pf(0, . . . , 2n− 1), τ̂ s,tn = Pf(0, . . . , 2n, z). (22) It is also convenient to introduce the shift operator Ts and Tt satisfying Ts[f(s)] = f(s+ 1), Tt[f(t)] = f(t+ 1) and the notation ab := a− b. 8 H. Miki, H. Goda and S. Tsujimoto From Proposition 1 and the relation (14), It is easy to see qs,t2n(z) = τ̂ s,tn τ s,tn (23) and Ts[Pf(i, j)] = Pf(i+ 1, j + 1)− µPf(i+ 1, j)− µPf(i, j + 1) + µ2Pf(i, j), Tt[Pf(i, j)] = Pf(i+ 1, j + 1)− λPf(i+ 1, j)− λPf(i, j + 1) + λ2Pf(i, j). (24) With the help of (17) and (18), we can see Pf(0, . . . , 2n, µ) = Pf(0, . . . , 2n, µ)− µPf(0, . . . , 2n− 1, 2n− 1, µ) = Pf(0, . . . , 2n− 1, 2̃n− 1, µ), where j̃ denotes (j + 1)− µ · j in the sense of (17). Iterating this transformation, we can find Pf(0, . . . , 2n, µ) = Pf(0, 0̃, 1̃, . . . , 2̃n− 1, µ). (25) Meanwhile, we can also find Pf(0, ĩ0, . . . , ĩ2n−1, µ) = Pf(ĩ0, . . . , ĩ2n−1)− 2n−1∑ k=0 (−1)kPf(ĩk, µ)Pf(0, ĩ0, . . . , ̂̃ ik, . . . , ĩ2n−1, µ), (26) where we have used the Pfaffian expansion (16). With the help of Lemma 1 and (24), it is straightforward to see Pf(̃i, j̃) = Ts[Pf(i, j)], Pf(̃i, µ) = 0. Therefore, combining (25) and (26), we arrive at Ts[Pf(0, . . . , 2n− 1)] = Pf(0, . . . , 2n, µ). In a similar manner, by using Pf(̃i, λ) = (λ− µ)λi, we further obtain Pf(0, . . . , 2n+ 1, µ, λ) = λµTs[Pf(0, . . . , 2n, λ)]. Finally, arranging these results, we have τ s+1,t n = Pf(0, . . . , 2n, µ), τ s,t+1 n = Pf(0, . . . , 2n, λ), τ s+1,t+1 n = λ−1µ Pf(0, . . . , 2n+ 1, µ, λ). (27) From these results, we can easily see that τ̂ s,tn is equal to τ s+1,t n with the substitution z = λ. Hence, in a similar manner, we can also obtain τ̂ s+1,t n = z−1µ Pf(0, . . . , 2n+ 1, µ, z), τ̂ s,t+1 n = z−1λ Pf(0, . . . , 2n+ 1, λ, z), τ̂ s+1,t+1 n = z−1µ z−1λ λ−1µ Pf(0, . . . , 2n+ 2, µ, λ, z). (28) Finally, from (23), (27) and (28), we obtain the relation (20). This completes the proof. � Using Theorem 2, we can obtain the following contiguous relations of even-degree SOPs. Discrete Spectral Transformations of SOPs and Associated DIS 9 Theorem 3. The series of even degree SOPs {qs,t2n(z)}∞n=0 satisfy the following contiguous rela- tions: zλq s,t+1 2n (z)− zµqs+1,t 2n (z) = zµ,λA s,t n q s+1,t+1 2n−2 (z)−Bs,t n qs,t2n(z), zµ,λq s+1,t+1 2n (z)− q2n+2(z) = zλC s,t n qs,t+1 2n (z)− zµDs,t n q s+1,t 2n , (29) with As,tn = (µ− λ) τ s,tn+1τ s+1,t+1 n−1 τ s+1,t n τ s,t+1 n , Bs,t n = (µ− λ) τ s,tn τ s+1,t+1 n τ s+1,t n τ s,t+1 n , Cs,tn = (µ− λ)−1 τ s+1,t n+1 τ s,t+1 n τ s,tn+1τ s+1,t+1 n , Ds,t n = (µ− λ)−1 τ s,t+1 n+1 τ s+1,t n τ s,tn+1τ s+1,t+1 n , (30) where τ s,tn is defined in (22). Proof. Using the identities of Pfaffians [13]: Pf(i0, . . . , i2n−1, a, b, c, d)Pf(i0, . . . , i2n−1) = Pf(i0, . . . , i2n−1, a, b)Pf(i0, . . . , i2n−1, c, d) − Pf(i0, . . . , i2n−1, a, c)Pf(i0, . . . , i2n−1, b, d) + Pf(i0, . . . , i2n−1, a, d)Pf(i0, . . . , i2n−1, b, c) (31) and Pf(i0, . . . , i2n, a, b, c)Pf(i0, . . . , i2n, d) = Pf(i0, . . . , i2n, a, b, d)Pf(i0, . . . , i2n, c) − Pf(i0, . . . , i2n, a, c, d)Pf(i0, . . . , i2n, b) + Pf(i0, . . . , i2n, b, c, d)Pf(i0, . . . , i2n, a), (32) we obtain the relation between τ s,tn and τ̂ s,tn : zµ,λλµτ s,t n+1τ̂ s+1,t+1 n = zλτ s+1,t n+1 τ̂ s,t+1 n − zµτ s,t+1 n+1 τ̂ s+1,t n + λµτ̂ s,t n+1τ s+1,t+1 n , λµτ s+1,t+1 n τ̂ s,tn = zµτ s,t+1 n τ̂ s+1,t n − zλτ s+1,t n τ̂ s,t+1 n + zµ,λτ s,t n+1τ̂ s+1,t+1 n−1 , (33) where zµ,λ = zµzλ. Hence, from Theorem 2, we can easily arrive at the result. � Observing Theorem 3, we can regard the relation (29) as the discrete Lax pair whose wave function is the sequence of even-degree SOPs. Then we can directly obtain the following system. Theorem 4. From the compatibility condition of (29), we can derive the following nonlinear difference system: As+1,t+1 n −As,tn+1 +Bs,t n+1 −B s+1,t+1 n = Cs,t+1 n − Cs+1,t n +Ds+1,t n −Ds,t+1 n , As+1,t n Cs+1,t n−1 = As,tn C s,t n , As,t+1 n Ds,t+1 n−1 = As,tn D s,t n , Bs+1,t n Ds+1,t n = Bs,t n+1D s,t n , Bs,t+1 n Cs,t+1 n = Bs,t n+1C s,t n . (34) This system has a special solution which can be written in terms of Pfaffians as (30). We can consider the system (34) as a discrete integrable system since this admits a discrete Lax pair by construction and we can put plenty arbitrary parameters into the solution (30). From the point of view of the τ -function τ s,tn , the relation (24) which the elements of the Pfaffian satisfy is the same as the dispersion relation of the discrete coupled KP (dcKP) equa- tion [10] and indeed one can notice that the equation (33) is just the same as the dcKP equation. Under the choice of z as the spectral parameter, the dcKP equation yields the discrete Lax pair (29). Therefore the system (34) can be regarded as the nonlinear form of the dcKP. 10 H. Miki, H. Goda and S. Tsujimoto 4 An extension to 2 × 2 matrix form In the previous section, we propose the discrete integrable system in (2+1)-dimensional form (34) from the discrete spectral transformation of the SOPs. This system, by construction, is related only to the even-degree SOPs and not to odd-degree SOPs. Taking it into account that the integrable systems associated with both even and odd degree SOPs were already derived [1, 27], we can expect that there should exist a discrete integrable system in 2+1 dimension which is also connected to the discrete spectral transformations of both even and odd degree SOPs. In order to construct such system, as is described in the previous section, the ambiguity of odd-degree SOPs (3) is the barrier. Conversely, in this section, we shall construct such system not avoiding the ambiguity of odd-degree SOPs but utilizing this. Using the skew-inner product 〈·|·〉s,t with the property (14), we introduce the new sequence of polynomials {φs,tn (z)}∞n=0: φs,t2n(z) = τ̂n s,t σs,tn , φs,t2n+1(z) = σ̂s,tn τ s,tn , (35) where σs,tn and σ̂s,tn are defined by σs,tn := Pf(0, . . . , 2n− 2, 2n) + (sµ+ tλ)τ s,tn , σ̂s,tn := Pf(0, . . . , 2n− 1, 2n+ 1, z) + (sµ+ tλ)τ̂ s,tn , (36) respectively. Recall that τ s,tn and τ̂ s,tn are defined by (22). here we remark that φs,t2n(z) are no longer monic except for s = t = 0. Nevertheless, from Proposition 1, one can easily find {φs,tn (z)}n=0 are also SOPs with respect to 〈·|·〉s,t. As is seen in the previous section, in order to derive the discrete Lax pair of even-degree SOPs, that is the relation between τ s,tn and τ̂ s,tn , the equation (33) plays a central role. According to this observation, we wish to acquire the relation between τ s,tn , τ̂ s,tn , σs,tn and σ̂s,tn . First we examine the properties of σs,tn and σ̂s,tn . Lemma 2. The function σs,tn and σ̂s,tn defined in (36) hold the following properties: σs+1,t n = Pf(0, . . . , 2n− 1, 2n+ 1, µ) + (sµ+ tλ)τ s+1,t n , σs,t+1 n = Pf(0, . . . , 2n− 1, 2n+ 1, λ) + (sµ+ tλ)τ s,t+1 n , σs+1,t+1 n = λ−1µ Pf(0, . . . , 2n, 2n+ 2, µ, λ) + (sµ+ tλ)τ s+1,t+1 n , σ̂s+1,t n = z−1µ Pf(0, . . . , 2n, 2n+ 2, µ, z) + (sµ+ tλ)τ̂ s+1,t n , σ̂s,t+1 n = z−1λ Pf(0, . . . , 2n, 2n+ 2, λ, z) + (sµ+ tλ)τ̂ s,t+1 n , σ̂s+1,t+1 n = λ−1µ z−1µ,λPf(0, . . . , 2n+ 1, 2n+ 3, µ, λ, z) + (sµ+ tλ)τ̂ s+1,t+1 n . Proof. In a similar manner to the proof of Theorem 2, we can see Pf(0, . . . , k̂ + 1, . . . , 2n+ 1, µ) = Pf(0, . . . , k, k + 2, k̃ + 2, . . . , 2̃n, µ) = Pf(0, . . . , k, k + 2, k̃ + 2, . . . , 2̃n, µ)− µ2Pf(0, . . . , k, k, k̃ + 2, . . . , 2̃n, µ) = Pf(0, . . . k, (k + 2)− µ2 · k, k̃ + 2, . . . , 2̃n, µ) = Pf(0, 0̃, . . . k̃, (k + 2)− µ2 · k, k̃ + 2, . . . , 2̃n, µ). Noticing (k + 2)− µ2 · k = k̃ + 1− µ · k̃, we get Pf(0, . . . , k̂ + 1, . . . , 2n+ 1, µ) = Pf(0, 0̃, . . . , ̂̃ k, . . . , 2̃n, µ)− µPf(0, 0̃, . . . , ̂̃ k + 1, . . . , 2̃n, µ) Discrete Spectral Transformations of SOPs and Associated DIS 11 = Ts[Pf(0, . . . , k̂, . . . , 2n− 1)]− µTs[Pf(0, . . . , k̂ + 1, . . . , 2n− 1)], where we have used the relation (26). Therefore with the symmetry µ↔ λ, we have Ts[Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n− 2, 2n)] = Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n− 1, 2n+ 1, µ)− µτ s+1,t n , Tt[Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n− 2, 2n)] = Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n− 1, 2n+ 1, µ)− λτ s,t+1 n . In a similar manner, we can also obtain Ts ◦ Tt[Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n− 2, 2n)] = λ−1µ Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n− 1, 2n+ 1, µ)− (µ+ λ)τ s+1,t+1 n , Ts[Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n− 1, 2n+ 1, z)] = z−1µ Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n, 2n+ 2, µ, z)− µτ̂ s+1,t n , Tt[Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n− 1, 2n+ 1, z)] = z−1λ Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n, 2n+ 2, λ, z)− λτ̂ s,t+1 n , Ts ◦ Tt[Pf(0, 1, . . . , 2n− 1, 2n+ 1, z)] = z−1µ,λPf(0, 1, . . . , 2n+ 1, 2n+ 3, µ, λ, z)− (µ+ λ)τ̂ s+1,t+1 n . These results immediately lead us to the conclusion. � By virtue of Lemma 2, we can find the relation between τ s,tn , τ̂ s,tn , σs,tn and σ̂s,tn . Theorem 5. The function τ s,tn , τ̂ s,tn , σs,tn and σ̂s,tn defined in (22) and (36) satisfy the following four relations: zµ,λλµσ s,t n+1τ̂ s+1,t+1 n−1 = zλτ s+1,t n σ̂s,t+1 n − zµτ s,t+1 n σ̂s+1,t n + λµσ s+1,t+1 n τ̂ s,tn , zµ,λλµτ s,t n+1σ̂ s+1,t+1 n−1 = zλσ s+1,t n τ̂ s,t+1 n − zµσs,t+1 n τ̂ s+1,t n + λµτ s+1,t+1 n σ̂s,tn , zµ,λλµσ s,t n+1τ̂ s+1,t+1 n = zλτ s+1,t n+1 σ̂s,t+1 n − zµτ s,t+1 n+1 σ̂s+1,t n + λµσ s+1,t+1 n τ̂ s,tn+1, zµ,λλµτ s,t n+1σ̂ s+1,t+1 n = zλσ s+1,t n+1 τ̂ s,t+1 n − zµσs,t+1 n+1 τ̂ s+1,t n + λµτ s+1,t+1 n σ̂s,tn+1. (37) Proof. Pfaffian identities (31), (32) and Lemma 2 directly lead us to the (37). This completes the proof. � If we take σ = τ , one finds that the equations (37) go to the discrete coupled KP equation (33). Therefore, these equations can be considered as the natural extension of the discrete coupled KP equation from the point of view of the SOPs. Hereafter we will call (33) as the extended discrete coupled KP (edcKP) equation. The edcKP equation gives us the contiguous relation among {φs,tn (z)}: Theorem 6. Let Φs,t n (z) be the vector function given by Φs,t n (z) = ( φs,t2n(z) φs,t2n+1(z) ) . The vector functions {Φs,t n (z)}∞n=0 satisfy the following two vector linear equations: zλΦs,t+1 n (z)− zµΦs+1,t n (z) = zµ,λA s,t n Φs+1,t+1 n−1 (z)−Bs,t n Φs,t n (z), zµ,λΦs+1,t+1 n (z)− Φn+1(z) = zλC s,t n Φs,t+1 n (z)− zµDs,t n Φs+1,t n , (38) where the coefficients As,t n , Bs,t n , Cs,t n , Ds,t n can be written explicitly in terms of Pfaffians: As,t n = (λ− µ)  0 τ s,tn+1τ s+1,t+1 n−1 σs+1,t n σs,t+1 n σs,tn+1σ s+1,t+1 n−1 τ s+1,t n τ s,t+1 n 0  , 12 H. Miki, H. Goda and S. Tsujimoto Bs,t n = (λ− µ)  0 τ s,tn τ s+1,t+1 n σs+1,t n σs,t+1 n σs,tn σ s+1,t+1 n τ s+1,t n τ s,t+1 n 0  , Cs,t n = (λ− µ)−1  0 τ s+1,t n+1 τ s,t+1 n σs,tn+1σ s+1,t+1 n σs+1,t n+1 σ s,t+1 n τ s,tn+1τ s+1,t+1 n 0  , Ds,t n = (λ− µ)−1  0 τ s,t+1 n+1 τ s+1,t n σs,tn+1σ s+1,t+1 n σs,t+1 n+1 σ s+1,t n τ s,tn+1τ s+1,t+1 n 0  . (39) Proof. The definitions of {φs,tn }∞n=0 (35) and the edcKP equation (37) directly lead us to the conclusion. This completes the proof. � We can regard (38) as the discrete vector Lax pair of SOPs of both even and odd degree. Therefore the discrete Lax pair shows us the following systems associated with SOPs of both even and odd degree, which can be regarded as a discrete integrable system along with (34): Theorem 7. From the compatibility condition of the discrete vector Lax pair (38), we can derive the nonlinear system in 2 + 1 dimension which takes the 2× 2 matrix form: As+1,t+1 n −As,t n+1 + Bs,t n+1 −Bs+1,t+1 n = Cs,t+1 n −Cs+1,t n + Ds+1,t n −Ds,t+1 n , As+1,t n Cs+1,t n−1 = As,t n Cs+1,t n , As,t+1 n Ds,t+1 n−1 = As,t n Ds,t n , Bs+1,t n Ds+1,t n = Bs,t n+1D s,t n , Bs,t+1 n Ds,t+1 n = Bs,t n+1D s,t n . (40) Special solutions of the nonlinear system (40) can be written in terms of Pfaffians given by (39). One can easily find that this system is the 2 × 2 matrix extension of the system (40) and this is the nonlinear form of the edcKP equation. This system is clearly connected to the SOPs of both even and odd degree and from its construction, we can regard the system (40) as the discrete coutnerpart of the Pfaff lattice in (2 + 1)-dimensional form. 5 Concluding remarks In this paper, we proposed the discrete spectral transformation of SOPs. From the discrete spectral transformation of SOPs, we derived the discrete integrable systems both in (1 + 1)- dimensional form and in (2 + 1)-dimensional form. In (1 + 1)-dimensional case, the system gives the integrable discretization of the Pfaff lattice, though the system is of course not local. In (2+1)-dimensional case, the system is local and corresponds only to the even-degree SOPs. This system is also shown to be connected to discrete coupled KP equation. The discrete coupled KP equation is known to be equivalent to the discretized Hirota–Ohta equation [11] in the bilinear form levels. Recently, the discrete integrable system is proposed from the auxiliary linear problems for the Hirota–Ohta (or DKP) system [4, 24]. We further extended the discrete integrable system associated with even-degree SOPs to the system associated with both even and odd degree SOPs. This system can be described in 2 × 2 matrix form, which is related to an extension of the discrete coupled KP equation. This Discrete Spectral Transformations of SOPs and Associated DIS 13 extension has never been considered before, although it is quite natural from the aspects of SOPs. Finally, let us mention for the relationship between our results and the random matrix theory. As a by-product of the discrete transformation of SOPs, we found the compact factorization of the kernel function of the correlation function for the orthogonal or symplectic ensembles in terms of the two even-degree SOPs with respect to the different weights. This factorization is not known as far as the authors know and indeed might be a new one. Moreover, it is known that a matrix integral over orthogonal and symplectic ensembles of Hermitian matrices can be considered as a τ -function of the coupled KP hierarchy [12], while our discrete integrable sys- tems (34) and (40) are directly connected to discrete coupled KP and its extension, respectively. We hope these results will bring a deeper understanding of the random matrix theory and several applications in its works in the near future.
