We obtain large N asymptotics for N × N Hankel determinants corresponding to non-negative symbols with Fisher-Hartwig (FH) singularities in the multi-cut regime. Our result includes the explicit computation of the multiplicative constant. More precisely, we consider symbols of the form ωef-NV, where V is a real-analytic potential whose equilibrium measure μV is supported on several intervals, f is analytic in a neighborhood of \textrmsupp(μV), and ω is a function with any number of jump- and root-type singularities in the interior of \textrmsupp(μV). While the special cases ω≡1 and ωef≡1 have been considered previously in the literature, we also prove new results for these special cases. No prior asymptotics were available in the literature for symbols with FH singularities in the multi-cut setting. As an application of our results, we discuss a connection between the spectral fluctuations of random Hermitian matrices in the multi-cut regime and the Gaussian free field on the Riemann surface associated to μV. As a second application, we obtain new rigidity estimates for random Hermitian matrices in the multi-cut regime.
