%0 Journal Article %T Discrete Spectral Transformations of Skew Orthogonal Polynomials and Associated Discrete Integrable Systems %A Hiroshi Miki %A Hiroaki Goda %A Satoshi Tsujimoto %J Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry : Methods and Applications %D 2012 %I National Academy of Science of Ukraine %X 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 2กม2 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. %K skew orthogonal polynomials %K discrete integrable systems %K discrete coupled KP equation %K Pfaff lattice %K Christoffel-Darboux kernel %U http://dx.doi.org/10.3842/SIGMA.2012.008
