“…Orthogonal polynomials in which the weight can be a complex function and the integration path can be a general curve in the complex plane (nonhermitian orthogonal polynomials) first appeared in the mathematical literature as denominators of Padé and other types or rational approximants [23,24,25,26]. The theory quickly developed and found applications into such fields as the Riemann-Hilbert approach to strong asymptotics, random matrix theory [10,4,5,6,3,2] and in the study of dualities between supersymmetric gauge theories and string models [18,7,11,12,15].…”
