We formulate a notion of abstract loop equations, and show that their solution is provided by a topological recursion under some assumptions, in particular the result takes a universal form. The Schwinger-Dyson equation of the one and two…

Recently, a two-matrix-model with a new type of interaction [1] has been introduced and analyzed using bi-orthogonal polynomial techniques. Here we present the complete 1/N^2 expansion for the formal version of this model, following the…

A novel scenario for the emergence of geometry in random multitrace matrix models of a single hermitian matrix $M$ with unitary $U(N) $ invariance, i.e. without a kinetic term, is presented. In particular, the dimension of the emergent…

The large N limit of the hermitian matrix model in three and four Euclidean space-time dimensions is studied with the help of the approximate Renormalization Group recursion formula. The planar graphs contributing to wave function, mass and…

We introduce the notion of $\mathcal{N}=1$ abstract super loop equations, and provide two equivalent ways of solving them. The first approach is a recursive formalism that can be thought of as a supersymmetric generalization of the…

Topological recursion associates to a spectral curve, a sequence of meromorphic differential forms. A tangent space to the "moduli space" of spectral curves (its space of deformations) is locally described by meromorphic 1-forms, and we use…

We construct a topological invariant that classifies density matrices of symmetry-protected topological orders in two-dimensional fermionic systems. As it is constructed out of the previously introduced Uhlmann phase, we refer to it as the…

We introduce an extension of the diagrammatic rules in random matrix theory and apply it to nonhermitean random matrix models using the 1/N approximation. A number of one- and two-point functions are evaluated on their holomorphic and…

In the early 1980's Thurston gave a topological characterization of rational maps whose critical points have finite iterated orbits (\cite{Th,DH1}): given a topological branched covering $F$ of the two sphere with finite critical orbits, if…

In a recent work [1] we consider the topological expansion for the non-mixed observables (including the free energy) for the formal Cauchy matrix model. The only restriction in [1] was the fact that all the branch points have to be simple.…

We use the Riemann-Hilbert approach, together with string and Toda equations, to study the topological expansion in the quartic random matrix model. The coefficients of the topological expansion are generating functions for the numbers…

In this paper, we discuss two well-known open problems in the regularity theory for nonlinear, conformally invariant elliptic systems in dimensions $n\ge 3$, with a critical nonlinearity: $H$-systems (equations of hypersurfaces of…

We obtain the topological expansion of the hermitian matrix model using its representation as a CFT on a hyperelliptic Riemann surface. To each branch point of the Riemann surface we associate an operator which represents a twist field…

We prove rigidity results describing contextually-constrained maps defined on Grassmannians and manifolds of ordered independent line tuples in finite-dimensional vector or Hilbert spaces. One statement in the spirit of the Fundamental…

We introduce a hierarchy of closed equations for charge density correlation functions in the Hubbard model and $2 + 1$ dimensional QED. Each step in the hierarchy can be considered a large $N$ truncation of an exact, but infinite set of…

We classify topological phases of non-Hermitian systems in the Altland-Zirnbauer classes with an additional reflection symmetry in all dimensions. By mapping the non-Hermitian system into an enlarged Hermitian Hamiltonian with an enforced…

We exhibit the Hodge degeneration from nonabelian Hodge theory as a $2$-fold delooping of the filtered loop space $E_2$-groupoid in formal moduli problems. This is an iterated groupoid object which in degree $1$ recovers the filtered circle…

Hyperuniform structures are disordered, correlated systems in which density fluctuations are suppressed at large scales. Such a property generalizes the concept of order in patterns and is relevant across diverse physical systems. We…

We explore the finite-density phase diagram of the single-flavour Gross-Neveu-Wilson (GNW) model using matrix product state (MPS) simulations. At zero temperature and along the symmetry line of the phase diagram, we find a sequence of…
