Summary:Deift, Its, and Zhou focus on Riemann-Hilbert approach to asymptotic problems arising in the theory of random matrix models, and also in the theory of integrable statistical mechanics. Random matrix theory was introduced to the theoretical physics community as a subject of intensive study by Wigner in his work on nuclear physics in the 1950's. Since that time random matrix theory has developed into an extremely active area of mathematics and of physics, with connections to many subareas, including, in particular, solvable field theories, and more recently, questions in number theory such as the distribution of zeros of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line.
