1. Basic theory of RHPs, 2. Use of RHPs in inverse scattering theory, 3. Application of the nonlinear steepest-descent method to compute the long-time behavior of integrable systems 4. Application of the nonlinear steepest-descent method to problems in random matrix theory and the theory of orthogonal polynomials.

Presented at the 27th Annual PCMI Summer Session, Random Matrices, held June 25 – July 15, 2017. The residential, three-week Summer Session is the flagship activity of the IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute (PCMI).

The Institute for Advanced Study / IAS / Park City Mathematics Institute (PCMI) is designed for mathematics educators at the secondary and post-secondary level, as well as mathematics researchers and students at the post-secondary level. These groups find at PCMI an intensive mathematical experience geared to their individual needs. Moreover, the interaction among groups with different backgrounds and professional needs increases each participant’s appreciation of the mathematical community as a whole as well as the work of participants in different areas.
