We show that partition functions of various matrix models can be obtained by acting on elementary functions with exponents of W-operators. A number of illustrations is given, including the Gaussian Hermitian matrix model, Hermitian model in…
We present a family of matrix models such that their partition functions are tau functions of the universal character (UC) hierarchy. This develops one of the topics of our previous paper arXiv:2410.14823. We found new matrix models…
Even though matrix model partition functions do not exhaust the entire set of tau-functions relevant for string theory, they seem to be elementary building blocks for many others and they seem to properly capture the fundamental symplicial…
$W$-representation realizes partition functions by an action of a cut-and-join-like operator on the vacuum state with a zero-mode background. We provide explicit formulas of this kind for $\beta$- and $q,t$-deformations of the simplest…

One of the main features of eigenvalue matrix models is that the averages of characters are again characters, what can be considered as a far-going generalization of the Fourier transform property of Gaussian exponential. This is true for…
We present novel equivalences in random matrix and tensor models between complex and self-adjoint theories with nontrivial quadratic terms in the action, established through an intermediate field representation. More precisely, we show that…
Partition functions of certain classes of "spin glass" models in statistical physics show strong connections to combinatorial graph invariants. Also known as homomorphism functions they allow for the representation of many such invariants,…
We consider solvable matrix models. We generalize Harish-Chandra-Itzykson-Zuber and certain other integrals (Gross-Witten integral and integrals over complex matrices) using the notion of tau function of matrix argument. In this case one…
We study relations between the eigenvectors of rational matrix functions on the Riemann sphere. Our main result is that for a subclass of functions that are products of two elementary blocks it is possible to represent these relations in a…
The partition function for unitary two matrix models is known to be a double KP tau-function, as well as providing solutions to the two dimensional Toda hierarchy. It is shown how it may also be viewed as a Borel sum regularization of…
We discuss various aspects of most general multisupport solutions to matrix models in the presence of hard walls, i.e., in the case where the eigenvalue support is confined to subdomains of the real axis. The structure of the solution at…
The aim of this paper is to show some examples of matrix-valued orthogonal functions on the real line which are simultaneously eigenfunctions of a second-order differential operator of Schr\"{o}dinger type and an integral operator of…
An integral representation of the partition function for general $n$-dimensional Ising models with nearest or non-nearest neighbours interactions is given. The representation is used to derive some properties of the partition function. An…
Explicit expressions for multimatrix models with complex and unitary matrices allows to couple these models with well-known unitary, orthogonsl and sympletic ensembles. We consider examples of such mixed ensembles which are solvable in the…
We show how to represent a class of expressions involving discrete sums over partitions as matrix models. We apply this technique to the partition functions of 2* theories, i.e. Seiberg-Witten theories with the massive hypermultiplet in the…
Partition functions for non-interacting particles are known to be symmetric functions. It is shown that powerful group-theoretical techniques can be used not only to derive these relationships, but also to significantly simplify calculation…
We consider the Itzykson-Zuber-Eynard-Mehta two-matrix model and prove that the partition function is an isomonodromic tau function in a sense that generalizes Jimbo-Miwa-Ueno's. In order to achieve the generalization we need to define a…
We construct the ($\beta$-deformed) partition function hierarchies with $W$-representations. Based on the $W$-representations, we analyze the superintegrability property and derive their character expansions with respect to the Schur…
