We consider the two-matrix model with potentials whose derivative are arbitrary rational function of fixed pole structure and the support of the spectra of the matrices are union of intervals (hard-edges). We derive an explicit formula for…
We present a diagrammatic technique for calculating the free energy of the Hermitian one-matrix model to all orders of 1/N expansion in the case where the limiting eigenvalue distribution spans arbitrary (but fixed) number of disjoint…
In this paper we study multi-matrix models whose potentials are perturbations of the quadratic potential associated with independent GUE random matrices. More precisely, we compute the free energy and the expectation of the trace of…
We compute the complete topological expansion of the formal hermitian two-matrix model. For this, we refine the previously formulated diagrammatic rules for computing the 1/ N expansion of the nonmixed correlation functions and give a new…
Motivated by questions arising in the study of harmonic maps and Yang Mills theory, we study new techniques for producing optimal monotonicity relations for geometric partial differential equations. We apply these results to sharpen epsilon…
Some matrix models admit, on top of the usual 't Hooft expansion, an M-theory-like expansion, i.e. an expansion at large N but where the rest of the parameters are fixed, instead of scaling with N. These models, which we call M-theoretic…
We compute the planar limit, as all-order power series in the 't Hooft coupling, of various integrated 4-point functions of chiral primary operators of ${\cal N}=4$ SU(N) super Yang-Mills, and of moment map operators of ${\cal N}=2$ SU(N)…
We compute the planar limit of both the free energy and the expectation value of the $1/2$ BPS Wilson loop for four dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ superconformal quiver theories, with a product of SU($N$)s as gauge group and bi-fundamental…
We derive the planar limit of 2- and 3-point functions of single-trace chiral primary operators of ${\cal N}=2$ SQCD on $S^4$, to all orders in the 't Hooft coupling. In order to do so, we first obtain a combinatorial expression for the…
We compute the free energy of the planar monomer-dimer model. Unlike the classical planar dimer model, an exact solution is not known in this case. Even the computation of the low-density power series expansion requires heavy and nontrivial…
We provide an integral formula for the free energy of the two-matrix model with polynomial potentials of arbitrary degree (or formal power series). This is known to coincide with the tau-function of the dispersionless two--dimensional Toda…
We study {\cal N}=2 SO(2N+1) SYM theory in the context of matrix model. By adding a superpotential of the scalar multiplet, W(\Phi), of degree 2N+2, we reduce the theory to {\cal N}=1. The 2N+1 distinct critical points of W(\Phi) allow us…
We study symmetry breaking in $Z_2$ symmetric large $N$ matrix models. In the planar approximation for both the symmetric double-well $\phi^4$ model and the symmetric Penner model, we find there is an infinite family of broken symmetry…
We study the high-dimensional limit of the free energy associated with the inference problem of a rank-one nonsymmetric matrix. The matrix is expressed as the outer product of two vectors, not necessarily independent. The distributions of…
In this contribution to the review on localization in gauge theories we investigate the matrix models derived from localizing N=1 super Yang-Mills on S^5. We consider the large-N limit and attempt to solve the matrix model by a saddle-point…
We compute the high-dimensional limit of the free energy associated with a multi-layer generalized linear model. Under certain technical assumptions, we identify the limit in terms of a variational formula. The approach is to first show…
We use genus zero free energy functions of Hermitian matrix models to define spectral curves and their special deformations. They are special plane curves defined by formal power series with integral coefficients generalizing the Catalan…
We present a method, based on loop equations, to compute recursively, all the terms in the large $N$ topological expansion of the free energy for the 2-hermitian matrix model, in the case where the support of the density of eigenvalues is…
We discuss exact results for the full nonperturbative effective superpotentials of four dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric U(N) gauge theories with additional chiral superfield in the adjoint representation and the free energies of…
The paper contains a new non-perturbative representation for subleading contribution to the free energy of multicut solution for hermitian matrix model. This representation is a generalisation of the formula, proposed by Klemm, Marino and…
