We show that any polynomial tau-function of the s-component KP and the BKP hierarchies can be interpreted as a zero mode of an appropriate combinatorial generating function. As an application, we obtain explicit formulas for all polynomial…

In arXiv:hep-th/0310113 we started a program of creating a reference-book on matrix-model tau-functions, the new generation of special functions, which are going to play an important role in string theory calculations. The main focus of…

We introduce hypergeometric functions related to projective Schur functions $Q_{\lambda}$ and describe their properties. Linear equations, integral representations and Pfaffian representations are obtained. These hypergeometric functions…

In this paper we introduce a new family of the KP tau-functions. This family can be described by a deformation of the generalized Kontsevich matrix model. We prove that the simplest representative of this family describes a generating…

The theory of matrix models is reviewed from the point of view of its relation to integrable hierarchies. Determinantal formulas, relation to conformal field models and the theory of Generalized Kontsevich model are discussed in some…

Recently we explained that the classical $Q$ Schur functions stand behind various well-known properties of the cubic Kontsevich model, and the next step is to ask what happens in this approach to the generalized Kontsevich model (GKM) with…

We consider an analogue of Kontsevich's matrix Airy function where the cubic potential $\mathrm{Tr}(\Phi^3)$ is replaced by a quartic term $\mathrm{Tr}(\Phi^4)$. Cumulants of the resulting measure are known to decompose into cycle types for…

We represent the partition function of the Generalized Kontsevich Model (GKM) in the form of a Toda lattice $\tau$-function and discuss various implications of non-vanishing "negative"- and "zero"-time variables: the appear to modify the…

The analogue of Kontsevich's matrix Airy function, with the cubic potential $\operatorname{Tr}\big(\Phi^3\big)$ replaced by a quartic term $\operatorname{Tr}\big(\Phi^4\big)$ with the same covariance, provides a toy model for quantum field…

We study multi-matrix models which may be viewed as integrals of products of tau functions which depend on the eigenvalues of products of random matrices. In the present paper we consider tau functions of the hierarchy the two-component KP…

Questions on random matrices and on non-intersecting Brownian motions have led to the study of moment matrices with regard to several weights. The purpose of this paper is to show that the determinants of such moment matrices satisfy, upon…

It is shown that all $\tau$-functions of BKP hierarchy can be written as Pfaffians of skew-symmetric matrices. $\tau$-functions of BKP hierarchy are parameterized by points in the universal orthogonal Grassmannian manifold (UOGM). The UOGM…

Following Zhou's framework, we consider the emergent geometry of the generalized Br\'ezin-Gross-Witten models whose partition functions are known to be a family of tau-functions of the BKP hierarchy. More precisely, we construct a spectral…

We advocate a new approach to the study of unitary matrix models in external fields which emphasizes their relationship to Generalized Kontsevich Models (GKM) with non-polynomial potentials. For example, we show that the partition function…

For an arbitrary solution to the Burgers--KdV hierarchy, we define the tau-tuple $(\tau_1,\tau_2)$ of the solution. We show that the product $\tau_1\tau_2$ admits Buryak's residue formula. Therefore, according to Alexandrov's theorem,…

We derive a bilinear expansion expressing elements of a lattice of KP $\tau$-functions, labelled by partitions, as a sum over products of pairs of elements of an associated lattice of BKP $\tau$-functions, labelled by strict partitions.…

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 continue our investigation of the Kontsevich--Penner model, which describes intersection theory on moduli spaces both for open and closed curves. In particular, we show how Buryak's residue formula, which connects two generating…
