Abstract

Unitary matrix models, among other things, play an important role in representing the irregular conformal block and hence LEEA of some asymptotically free susy gauge theories. Here, we develop a method of how to determine the qualitative structure of phase diagram by the deformation of classical potential, and illustrate this by the examples that contain term up to cosnα\cos n\alpha, n3n \leq 3. We point out that a set of β\beta functions on critical ``lines" is nowhere a vanishing vector. This generalizes the n=1n =1 GWW case and tells us the third order (rather than second order) phase transition in conformity with the range of values for the susceptibility exponent.
