Weingarten function
Appearance
In mathematics, Weingarten functions are rational functions indexed by partitions of integers that can be used to calculate integrals of moments over classical groups. Thjey were first studied by Weingarten (1978) who found their asymptotic behavior, and named by Collins (2003), who evaluated them explicitly for the unitary group. For orthogonal and symplactic groups they were evaluated by Collins & Śniady (2006).
