Unitary 1-matrix models are shown to be exactly equivalent to hermitian 1-matrix models coupled to 2N vectors with appropriate potentials, to all orders in the 1/N expansion. This fact allows us to use all the techniques developed and…

We study fermionic one-matrix, two-matrix and $D$-dimensional gauge invariant matrix models. In all cases we derive loop equations which unambiguously determine the large-$N$ solution. For the one-matrix case the solution is obtained for an…

In these notes we explain how the CFT description of random matrix models can be used to perform actual calculations. Our basic example is the hermitian matrix model, reformulated as a conformal invariant theory of free fermions. We give an…

In these notes we explore a variety of models comprising a large number of constituents. An emphasis is placed on integrals over large Hermitian matrices, as well as quantum mechanical models whose degrees of freedom are organised in a…

We review a class of matrix models whose degrees of freedom are matrices with anticommuting elements. We discuss the properties of the adjoint fermion one-, two- and gauge invariant D-dimensional matrix models at large-N and compare them…

The same complex matrix model calculates both tachyon scattering for the c=1 non-critical string at the self-dual radius and certain correlation functions of half-BPS operators in N=4 super-Yang-Mills. It is dual to another complex matrix…

We discuss an interesting duality known to occur for certain complex reflection groups, namely the duality groups. Our main construction yields a concrete, representation theoretic realisation of this duality. This allows us to naturally…

The Hermitian, complex and fermionic two-matrix models with infinite set of variables are constructed. We show that these two-matrix models can be realized by the $W$-representations. In terms of the $W$-representations, we derive the…

Mappings between models may be obtained by unitary transformations with preservation of the spectra but in general a change in the states. Non- canonical transformations in general also change the statistics of the operators involved. In…

Dualities are hidden symmetries that map seemingly unrelated physical systems onto each other. The goal of this work is to systematically construct families of Hamiltonians endowed with a given duality and to provide a universal description…

We present some arguments showing spectrum doubling of matrix models in the limit $N\to\infty$ which is connected with fermionic determinant behaviour. The problems are similar to ones encountered in the lattice gauge theories with chiral…

We reformulate the zero-dimensional hermitean one-matrix model as a (nonlocal) collective field theory, for finite~$N$. The Jacobian arising by changing variables from matrix eigenvalues to their density distribution is treated {\it…

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…

Recently developed methods for PT-symmetric models can be applied to quantum-mechanical matrix and vector models. In matrix models, the calculation of all singlet wave functions can be reduced to the solution a one-dimensional PT-symmetric…

The basic concepts of non-commutative probability theory are reviewed and applied to the large $N$ limit of matrix models. We argue that this is the appropriate framework for constructing the master field in terms of which large $N$…

Using the superfield formalism and the master action approach, we prove, both at the classical and quantum levels, the dual equivalence between four-dimensional supersymmetric self-dual and topologically massive models coupled to dynamical…

Gaussian and Chiral Beta-Ensembles, which generalise well known orthogonal (Beta=1), unitary (Beta=2), and symplectic (Beta=4) ensembles of random Hermitian matrices, are considered. Averages are shown to satisfy duality relations like…

We construct collective field theories associated with one-matrix plus $r$ vector models. Such field theories describe the continuum limit of spin Calogero Moser models. The invariant collective fields consist of a scalar density coupled to…

We analyse a specific, duality-based generalization of the hermitean matrix model. The existence of two collective fields enables us to describe specific excitations of the hermitean matrix model. By using these two fields, we construct…

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…
