We study a family of monic orthogonal polynomials which are orthogonal with respect to the varying, complex valued weight function, exp(nsz), over the interval [−1, 1], where s ∈ C is arbitrary. This family of polynomials originally appeared in the literature when the parameter was purely imaginary, that is s ∈ iR, due to its connection with complex Gaussian quadrature rules for highly oscillatory integrals. The asymptotics for these polynomials as n → ∞ have been recently studied for s ∈ iR, and our main goal is to extend these results to all s in the complex plane.We first use the technique of continuation in parameter space, developed in the context of the theory of integrable systems, to extend previous results on the so-called modified external field from the imaginary axis to the complex plane minus a set of critical curves, called breaking curves. We then apply the powerful method of nonlinear steepest descent for oscillatory Riemann-Hilbert problems developed by Deift and Zhou in the 1990s to obtain asymptotics of the recurrence coefficients of these polynomials when the parameter s is away from the breaking curves. We then provide the analysis of the recurrence coefficients when the parameter s approaches a breaking curve, by considering double scaling limits as s approaches these points. We shall see a qualitative difference in the behavior of the recurrence coefficients, depending on whether or not we are approaching the points s = ±2 or some other points on the breaking curve.
