Generalized Charlier Recurrence Coefficients: Hankel Formulas, Laguerre--Freud Dynamics, and Painlevé V Connections

We study the monic recurrence coefficients of the generalized Charlier polynomials associated with the discrete weight \[ ρ_μ(k) = \frac{μ^k}{(k!)^2}, \qquad k\in\mathbb N_0, \qquad μ>0. \] The coefficients $β_n$ and $γ_n$ in the recurrence relation \[ P_{n+1}(x) = (x-β_n
