The role of integrable systems in string theory is discussed. We remind old examples of the correspondence between stringy partition functions or effective actions and integrable equations, based on effective application of the matrix model…
Although the physical properties of the 2D and 1D Ising models are quite different, we point out an interesting connection between their complex-temperature phase diagrams. We carry out an exact determination of the complex-temperature…
The uniform distribution on matrices with specified row and column sums is often a natural choice of null model when testing for structure in two-way tables (binary or nonnegative integer). Due to the difficulty of sampling from this…

The double scaling limit of a new class of the multi-matrix models proposed in \cite{MMM91}, which possess the $W$-symmetry at the discrete level, is investigated in details. These models are demonstrated to fall into the same universality…
It is generally accepted that the double-scaled 1D matrix model is equivalent to the $c=1$ string theory with tachyon condensation. There remain however puzzles that are to be clarified in order to utilize this connection for our quest…

Using large scale numerical simulations we analyze the statistical properties of fracture in the two dimensional random spring model and compare it with its scalar counterpart: the random fuse model. We first consider the process of crack…
We study the two-matrix model which represents the sum over closed and open random surfaces coupled to an Ising Model. The boundary conditions are characterized by the fact that the Ising spins sitting at the vertices of the boundaries are…
We consider the simplest gauge theories given by one- and two- matrix integrals and concentrate on their stringy and geometric properties. We remind general integrable structure behind the matrix integrals and turn to the geometric…
We propose a new type of state sum model for two-dimensional surfaces that takes into account topology and spin. The definition used - new to the literature - provides a rich class of extended models called spin models. Both examples and…
Covariances and variances of linear statistics of a point process can be written as integrals over the truncated two-point correlation function. When the point process consists of the eigenvalues of a random matrix ensemble, there are often…
