The exact free energy of matrix model always obeys the Seiberg-Witten (SW) equations on a complex curve defined by singularities of the quasiclassical resolvent. The role of SW differential is played by the exact one-point resolvent. We…

Convenient parameterizations of matrices in terms of vectors transform (certain classes of) matrix equations into covariant (hence rotation-invariant) vector equations. Certain recently introduced such parameterizations are tersely…

This short but self-contained survey presents a number of elegant matrix/operator inequalities for general convex or concave functions, obtained with a unitary orbit technique. Jensen, sub or super-additivity type inequalities are…

In this paper, we explain a simple and uniform construction of a smooth integral model associated to a quadratic, (anti)-hermitian, and (anti)-quaternionic hermitian lattice defined over an arbitrary local field. As one major application,…

We consider solvable matrix models. We generalize Harish-Chandra-Itzykson-Zuber and certain other integrals (Gross-Witten integral and integrals over complex matrices) using the notion of tau function of matrix argument. In this case one…

This preprint is the introduction of my habilitation thesis for Paris7 university. It is a sumary of a collection of works on the 2 matrix model. In an introduction, 3 different and unequivalent definitions of matrix models are given…

We obtain generalisations of some inequalities for positive unital linear maps on matrix algebra. This also provides several positive semidefinite matrices and we get some old and new inequalities involving the eigenvalues of a Hermitian…

Explicit expressions for multimatrix models with complex and unitary matrices allows to couple these models with well-known unitary, orthogonsl and sympletic ensembles. We consider examples of such mixed ensembles which are solvable in the…

Pseudo-hermitian matrices are matrices hermitian with respect to an indefinite metric. They can be thought of as the truncation of pseudo-hermitian operators, defined over some Krein space, together with the associated metric, to a finite…

We study a unitary matrix model of the Gross-Witten-Wadia type, extended with the addition of characteristic polynomial insertions. The model interpolates between solvable unitary matrix models and is the unitary counterpart of a deformed…

In this talk we discuss Feynman integrals which are related to elliptic curves. We show with the help of an explicit example that in the set of master integrals more than one elliptic curve may occur. The technique of maximal cuts is a…

We summarize some aspects of matrix models from the approaches directly based on their properties at finite N.

We study the systems of ordinary differential equations which are implicit with respect to the higher derivatives, appearing in the linear form, and their solutions near the singular points. The invertibility of the higher derivatives…

The Wishart model of random covariance or correlation matrices continues to find ever more applications as the wealth of data on complex systems of all types grows. The heavy tails often encountered prompt generalizations of the Wishart…

We derive the loop equation for the 1-matrix model with generic difference-type measure for eigenvalues and develop a recursive algebraic framework for solving it to an arbitrary order in the coupling constant in and beyond the planar…

Differential reformulations of field theories are often used for explicit computations. We derive a one-matrix differential formulation of two-matrix models, with the help of which it is possible to diagonalize the one- and two-matrix…

In analogy with the geometric situation, we study real calculi over projective modules and show that they can be realized as projections of free real calculi. Moreover, we consider real calculi over matrix algebras and discuss several…

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…

In this paper we show that an arbitrary solution of one ordinary difference equation is also a solution for a hierarchy of integrable difference equations. We also provide an example of such a solution that is related to sequence generated…

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…
