This paper is devoted to revealing the relationship between matrix-valued $θ$-deformed bi-orthogonal polynomials and non-commutative Toda-type hierarchies. In this procedure, Wronski quasi-determinants are widely used and play the role of non-commutative $τ$-functions. At the same time, Bäcklund transformations are realized by using a moment modification method and non-commutative $θ$-deformed Volterra hierarchies are obtained, which contain the known examples of the Itoh-Narita-Bogoyavlensky lattices and the fractional Volterra hierarchy., 30 pages.

In this paper, we introduce multiple skew-orthogonal polynomials and investigate their connections with classical integrable systems. By using Pfaffian techniques, we show that multiple skew-orthogonal polynomials can be expressed by multi-component Pfaffian tau-functions upon appropriate deformations. Moreover, a two-component Pfaff lattice hierarchy, which is equivalent to the Pfaff-Toda hierarchy studied by Takasaki, is obtained by considering the recurrence relations and Cauchy transforms of multiple skew-orthogonal polynomials., Comment: 30 pages, comments are welcome!

Matrix-valued Cauchy bi-orthogonal polynomials were proposed in this paper, together with its quasideterminant expression. It is shown that the coefficients in four-term recurrence relation for matrix-valued Cauchy bi-orthogonal polynomials should satisfy a novel noncommutative integrable system, whose Lax pair is given by fractional differential operators with non-abelian variables., 18 pages.

A connection between matrix orthogonal polynomials and non-abelian integrable lattices is investigated in this paper. The normalization factors of matrix orthogonal polynomials expressed by quasi-determinant are shown to be solutions of non-abelian Toda lattice in semi-discrete and full-discrete cases. Moreover, with a moment modification method, we demonstrate that the B��cklund transformation of non-abelian Toda given by Popowicz is equivalent to the non-abelian Volterra lattice, whose solutions could be expressed by quasi-determinants as well., 21 pages.

Inspired by the connection between the Dodgson's condensation algorithm and Hirota's difference equation, we consider condensation algorithms for Pfaffians from the perspectives of discrete integrable systems. The discretisation of Pfaffian elements demonstrate its effectiveness to the Pfaffian $\tau$-functions and discrete integrable systems. The free parameter in the discretisation allows us in particular to obtain explicit, one-parameter condensation algorithms for the Pfaffians., Comment: 14 pages; comments are welcome!

In this article, we consider the Christoffel transformations for skew-orthogonal polynomials and partial-skew-orthogonal polynomials. We demonstrate that the Christoffel transformations can act as spectral problems for discrete integrable hierarchies, and therefore we derive certain integrable hierarchies from these transformations. Some reductional cases are also considered., Comment: 21 pages; comments are welcome

In this article, we consider the generalised two-parameter Cauchy two-matrix model and corresponding integrable lattice equation. It is shown that with parameters chosen as $1/k_i$ when $k_i\in\mathbb{Z}_{>0}$ ($i=1,\,2$), the average characteristic polynomials admit $(k_1+k_2+2)$-term recurrence relations, which provide us spectral problems for integrable lattices. The tau function is then given by the partition function of the generalised Cauchy two-matrix model as well as Gram determinant. The simplest example with exact solvability is demonstrated., 15 pages; comments are welcome

This paper focuses on different reductions of 2-dimensional (2d-)Toda hierarchy. Symmetric and skew symmetric moment matrices are firstly considered, resulting in the differential relations between symmetric/skew symmetric tau functions and 2d-Toda's tau functions, respectively. Furthermore, motivated by the Cauchy two-matrix model and Bures ensemble from random matrix theory, we study the rank one shift condition in symmetric case and rank two shift condition in skew symmetric case, from which the C-Toda hierarchy and B-Toda hierarchy are found respectively, together with their special Lax matrices and integrable structures., 34 pages, comments are welcome!
