Abstract

The two matrix model is considered, with measure given by the exponential of a sum of polynomials in two different variables. It is shown how to derive a sequence of pairs of ``dual'' finite size systems of ODEs for the corresponding biorthonormal polynomials. An inverse theorem is proved showing how to reconstruct such measures from pairs of semi-infinite finite band matrices defining the recursion relations and satisfying the string equation. A proof is given in the NN\to \infty limit that the dual systems obtained share the same spectral curve.
