The multicomponent 2D Toda hierarchy: generalized matrix orthogonal polynomials, multiple orthogonal polynomials and Riemann–Hilbert problems

We consider the relation of the multicomponent 2D Toda hierarchy with the matrix orthogonal and biorthogonal polynomials. The multi-graded Hankel reduction of this hierarchy is considered and the corresponding generalized matrix orthogonal polynomials are studied. In particular, for these polynomials we consider the recursion relations, and for rank 1 weights its relation with multiple orthogonal polynomials of mixed type with a type II normalization and the corresponding link with a Riemann–Hilbert problem.
