Matrix Models vs. Matrix Integrals

High Energy Physics - Theory 2011-07-19 v1

Abstract

In a brief review, we discuss interrelations between arbitrary solutions of the loop equations that describe Hermitean one-matrix model and particular (multi-cut) solutions that describe concrete matrix integrals. These latter ones enjoy a series of specific properties and, in particular, are described in terms of Seiberg-Witten-Whitham theory. The simplest example of ordinary integral is considered in detail.
