The free energies of six-vertex models on general domain D with various boundary conditions are investigated with the use of the n-equivalence relation which classifies the thermodynamic limit properties. It is derived that the free energy…
The free energy, or equivalently the ground state energy in finite volume, may be calculated from forward scattering amplitudes using a formula due to Dashen, Ma, and Bernstein. However a naive treatment leads to singularities when…
For general one-matrix models in the large $N$ limit, we introduce the cap amplitude $\psi(b)$ as the expansion coefficient of the 1-form $ydx$ on the spectral curve. We find that the dilaton equation for the discrete volume $N_{g,n}$ of…
We consider the thermal behavior of a large number of matrix degrees of freedom in the planar limit. We work in $0+1$ dimensions, with $D$ matrices, and use $1/D$ as an expansion parameter. This can be thought of as a non-commutative…
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. We illustrate the method by computing the first subleading term,…
In theories with renormalons the perturbative series is factorially divergent even after restricting to a given order in $1/N$, making the $1/N$ expansion a natural testing ground for the theory of resurgence. We study in detail the…
We study large $n$ expansions for the partition function of a Coulomb gas $$Z_n=\frac 1 {\pi^n}\int_{\mathbb{C}^n}\prod_{1\le i<j\le n}|z_i-z_j|^2\prod_{i=1}^n e^{-nQ(z_i)}\, d^2 z_i,$$ where $Q$ is a radially symmetric confining potential…

We consider two-dimensional Coulomb gases on the Riemann sphere with determinantal or Pfaffian structures, under external potentials that are invariant under rotations around the axis connecting the north and south poles, and with…
The uniform electron gas is a key model system in the description of matter, including dense plasmas and solid state systems. However, the simultaneous occurence of quantum, correlation, and thermal effects makes the theoretical description…
The theory of random matrices with eigenvalues distributed in the complex plane and more general "beta-ensembles" (logarithmic gases in 2D) is reviewed. The distribution and correlations of the eigenvalues are investigated in the large N…

We consider the large order behavior of the perturbative expansion of the scalar $\varphi^4$ field theory in terms of a perturbative expansion around an instanton solution. We have computed the series of the free energy up to two-loop order…
We develop a method to evaluate the partition function and energy density of a massive scalar on a 2-sphere of radius $r$ and at finite temperature $\beta$ as power series in $\frac{\beta}{r}$. Each term in the power series can be written…

A class of matrix models which arises as partition function in U(N) Chern-Simons matter theories on three sphere is investigated. Employing the standard technique of the 1/N expansion we solve the system beyond the planar limit. In…
We compute the thermal free energy in large N U(N) Chern-Simons-matter theories with matter fields (scalars and/or fermions) in the fundamental representation, in the large temperature limit. We note that in these theories the eigenvalue…
