Using the matrix-forest theorem and the Parisi-Sourlas trick we formulate and solve a one-matrix model with non-polynomial potential which provides perturbation theory for massive spinless fermions on dynamical planar graphs. This is a…

This thesis studies matrix field theories, which are a special type of matrix models. First, the different types of applications are pointed out, from (noncommutative) quantum field theory over 2-dimensional quantum gravity up to algebraic…

We study the unitarity of models with low scale quantum gravity both in four dimensions and in models with a large extra-dimensional volume. We find that models with low scale quantum gravity have problems with unitarity below the scale at…

The purpose of this paper is to express the entire hierarchy of mKdV vector fields as restrictions of vector fields in the NLS hierarchy. The result is proved using the normal form theory of the two equations.

We define a new scaling limit of matrix models which can be related to the method of causal dynamical triangulations (CDT) used when investigating two-dimensional quantum gravity. Surprisingly, the new scaling limit of the matrix models is…

I consider a lattice model of a gauge field interacting with matrix-valued scalars in $D$ dimensions. The model includes an adjustable parameter $\s$, which plays role of the string tension. In the limit $\s=\infty$ the model coincides with…

Topological gravity is the reduction of general relativity to flat space-times. A lattice model describing topological gravity is developed starting from a Hamiltonian lattice version of $B\w F$ theory. The extra symmetries not present in…

Under the Neumann constraints, each equation of the KdV hierarchy is decomposed into two finite dimensional systems, including the well-known Neumann model. Like in the case of the Bargmann constraint, the explicit Lax representations are…

To every partition $n=n_1+n_2+\cdots+n_s$ one can associate a vertex operator realization of the Lie algebras $a_{\infty}$ and $\hat{gl}_n$. Using this construction we make reductions of the $s$--component KP hierarchy, reductions which are…

We study a new class of matrix models, formulated on a lattice. On each site are $N$ states with random energies governed by a Gaussian random matrix Hamiltonian. The states on different sites are coupled randomly. We calculate the density…

We present a new class of hermitian one-matrix models originated in the W-infinity algebra: more precisely, the polynomials defining the W-infinity generators in their fermionic bilinear form are shown to expand the orthogonal basis of a…

We analyze multi--matrix chain models. They can be considered as multi--component Toda lattice hierarchies subject to suitable coupling conditions. The extension of such models to include extra discrete states requires a weak form of…

Recently a new supersymmetric extension of the KdV hierarchy has appeared in a matrix-model-inspired approach to $2{-}d$ quantum supergravity. Here we prove that this hierarchy is essentially the KdV hierarchy, where the KdV field is now…
