In this note we compare planar correlators such as $< \prod_i^n Tr M^{2k_i} >$ in the Gaussian matrix model with corresponding genus zero correlators of the A-model topological string theory on $P^1$. We find a simple relation between them…

The topological description of $2D$ string theory at the self-dual radius is studied in the algebro-geometrical formulation of the $A_{k+1}$ topological models at $k=-3$. Genus zero correlators of tachyons and their gravitational…

New relations of correlation functions are found in topological string theory; one for each second cohomology class of the target space. They are close cousins of the Deligne-Dijkgraaf-Witten's puncture and dilaton equations. When combined…

We calculate one- and two-point correlators of winding operators in the matrix model of 2D string theory compactified on a circle, recently proposed for the description of string dynamics on the 2D black hole background.

We calculate correlation functions in matrix models modified by trace-squared terms. First we study scaling operators in modified one-matrix models and find that their correlation functions satisfy modified Virasoro constraints. Then we…

We discuss the relation between open and closed string correlators using topological string theories as a toy model. We propose that one can reconstruct closed string correlators from the open ones by considering the Hochschild cohomology…

In view of recent progress in studying matrix model-2D gravity duality, we reexamine some features of $(2,2p+1)$ minimal string. After reviewing both sides of the proposed correspondence in this case, a previously unnoted identification…

We compute exact solutions of two--matrix models, i.e. detailed genus by genus expressions for the correlation functions of these theories, calculated without any approximation. We distinguish between two types of models, the unconstrained…

We consider matrix models exhibiting open-closed string duality in two-dimensional string theories with various amounts of supersymmetry. In particular, a relationship between matrix models in the $\beta = 2$ Wigner-Dyson class and models…

We sharpen the duality between open and closed topological string partition functions for topological gravity coupled to matter. The closed string partition function is a generalised Kontsevich matrix model in the large dimension limit. We…

We compute N-point correlation functions of pure vertex operator states(DK states) for minimal models coupled to gravity. We obtain agreement with the matrix model results on analytically continuing in the numbers of cosmological constant…

We provide evidence of the relation between supersymmetric gauge theories and matrix models beyond the planar limit. We compute gravitational R^2 couplings in gauge theories perturbatively, by summing genus one matrix model diagrams. These…

We calculate connected correlators in Gaussian orthogonal, unitary and symplectic random matrix ensembles by the replica method in the 1/N-expansion. We obtain averaged one-point Green's functions up to the next-to-leading order O(1/N) and…

We develop a variant of calculus of functors, and use it to relate the gauge group G(P) of a principal bundle P over M to the Thom ring spectrum (P^Ad)^{-TM}. If P has contractible total space, the resulting Thom ring spectrum is LM^{-TM},…

We study the $(1,q=-1)$ model coupled to topological gravity as a candidate to describing $2d$ string theory at the self-dual radius. We define the model by analytical continuation of $q>1$ topological recursion relations to $q=-1$. We show…

A recently proposed connection between closed string field and an open Wilson line defined on an arbitrary contour is further explored here. We suggest that reparametrization invariance of a Wilson line is the principle which determines the…

We make a proposal for the string dual to the simplest large $N$ theory, the Gaussian matrix integral in the 'tHooft limit, and how this dual description emerges from double line graphs. This is a specific realisation of the general…

We study a topological Landau-Ginzburg model with superpotential W(X)=X^{-1}. This is argued to be equivalent to c=1 string theory compactified at the self-dual radius. We compute the tree-level correlation function of N tachyons in this…

We propose a new family of matrix models whose 1/N expansion captures the all-genus topological string on toric Calabi-Yau threefolds. These matrix models are constructed from the trace class operators appearing in the quantization of the…

We compute the contribution of discrete Coulomb vacua to A-Model correlators in toric Gauged Linear Sigma Models. For models corresponding to a compact variety, this determines the correlators at arbitrary genus. For non-compact examples,…
