On the moments of the characteristic polynomial of a Ginibre random matrix

In this article we study the large $N$ asymptotics of complex moments of the absolute value of the characteristic polynomial of a $N\times N$ complex Ginibre random matrix with the characteristic polynomial evaluated at a point in the unit disk. More precisely, we calculate the large $N$ asymptotics of $\mathbb{E}\mathrm{\mid }\det (G_N-z){\mathrm{\mid }}^{\gamma }$, where $G_N$ is a $N\times N$ matrix whose entries are i.i.d and distributed as $N^{-1\mathrm{/}2}Z$, $Z$ being a standard complex Gaussian, $\mathrm{R}\mathrm{e}(\gamma )>-2$, and $\mathrm{\mid }z\mathrm{\mid }<1$. This expectation is proportional to the determinant of a complex moment matrix with a symbol which is supported in the whole complex plane and has a Fisher-Hartwig type of singularity: $\det(\int_$\mathbb{C}$ w^{i}\overline{w}^j |w-z|^\gamma e^{-N|w|^{2}}d^2 w)_{i,j=0}^{N-1}$. We study the asymptotics of this determinant using recent results due to Lee and Yang concerning the asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials with respect to the weight $|w-z|^\gamma e^{-N|w|^2}d^2 w$ along with differential identities familiar from the study of asymptotics of Toeplitz and Hankel determinants with Fisher-Hartwig singularities. To our knowledge, even in the case of one singularity, the asymptotics of the determinant of such a moment matrix whose symbol has support in a two-dimensional set and a Fisher-Hartwig singularity, have been previously unknown.
