Scaling limits of random normal matrix processes at singular boundary points

We introduce a method for taking microscopic limits of normal matrix ensembles and apply it to study the behaviour near certain types of singular points on the boundary of the droplet. Our investigation includes ensembles without restrictions near the boundary, as well as hard edge ensembles, where the eigenvalues are confined to the droplet. We establish in both cases existence of new types of determinantal point fields, which differ from those which can appear at a regular boundary point, or in the bulk
