Abstract

We study a quartic matrix model with partition function Z=d MexpTr (ΔM2λ4M4)Z=\int d\ M\exp{\rm Tr}\ (-\Delta M^2-\frac{\lambda}{4}M^4). The integral is over the space of Hermitian (Λ+1)×(Λ+1)(\Lambda+1)\times(\Lambda+1) matrices, the matrix Δ\Delta, which is not a multiple of the identity matrix, encodes the dynamics and λ>0\lambda>0 is a scalar coupling constant. We proved that the logarithm of the partition function is the Borel sum of the perturbation series, hence is a well defined analytic function of the coupling constant in certain analytic domain of λ\lambda, by using the multi-scale loop vertex expansions. All the non-planar graphs generated in the perturbation expansions have been taken care of on the same footing as the planar ones. This model is derived from the self-dual ϕ4\phi^4 theory on the 2 dimensional Moyal space, also called the 2 dimensional Grosse-Wulkenhaar model. This would also be the first fully constructed matrix model which is non-trivial and not solvable.
