We show how to expand the free energy of a matrix model coupled to arbitrary matter in powers of the matter coupling constant. Concentrating on $\nu$ uncoupled Ising models---which have central charge $\nu/2$---we work out the expansion to…
The study of spins and particles on graphs has broad applications, from the dynamics of interacting systems on networks to combinatorial problems. Here, we study the large-$n$ limit of the $O(n)$ model on graphs, which is considerably more…
In this paper we study multi-matrix models whose potentials are perturbations of the quadratic potential associated with independent GUE random matrices. More precisely, we compute the free energy and the expectation of the trace of…
We solve the loop equations to all orders in $1/N^2$, for the Chain of Matrices matrix model (with possibly an external field coupled to the last matrix of the chain). We show that the topological expansion of the free energy, is, like for…
Thirty years ago, Stanley showed that an O(n) spin model on a lattice tends to a spherical model as $n\to\infty$. This means that at any temperature the corresponding free energies coincide. This fundamental result, providing the basis for…
We introduce the matrix sums that represent a discrete analog of the matrix models with quartic potential. The probability space is given by the set of all simple n-vertex graphs with the Gibbs weight determined by the graph Laplacian. We…
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…
In this work we show that there is a direct relationship between a graph's topology and the free energy of a spin system on the graph. We develop a method of separating topological and enthalpic contributions to the free energy, and find…
We derive a graph expansion for the thermal partition function of solvable two-dimensional models with boundaries. This expansion of the integration measure over the virtual particles winding around the time cycle is obtained with the help…
Recently, the free energy of the target space mean field (TSMF) matrix model has been calculated in the low temperature phase, order-by-order in a low temperature expansion. The TSMF model is a matrix model whose discrete target space has…
Given discrete degrees of freedom (spins) on a graph interacting via an energy function, what can be said about the energy local minima and associated inherent structures? Using the lid algorithm in the context of a spin glass energy…
We study the dependence of entropy [per lattice site] of six-vertex model on boundary conditions. We start with lattices of finite size and then proceed to thermodynamic limit. We argue that the six-vertex model with periodic, anti-periodic…
We introduce a new model of background independent physics in which the degrees of freedom live on a complete graph and the physics is invariant under the permutations of all the points. We argue that the model has a low energy phase in…
We compute the high-dimensional limit of the free energy associated with a multi-layer generalized linear model. Under certain technical assumptions, we identify the limit in terms of a variational formula. The approach is to first show…
We consider two different genus expansions of the free energy functions of Hermitian one-matrix models, one using fat graphs, one using ordinary graphs (thin graphs). Some structural results are first proved for the thin version of genus…
A matrix model on a D-dimensional Euclidean space is introduced as a generalization of random matrix models and as a non-perturbative definition of discretized closed string theory. The free energy of the matrix model is formally derived to…
We present a diagrammatic technique for calculating the free energy of the Hermitian one-matrix model to all orders of 1/N expansion in the case where the limiting eigenvalue distribution spans arbitrary (but fixed) number of disjoint…
We consider a model of directed polymers on a regular tree with a disorder given by independent, identically distributed weights attached to the vertices. For suitable weight distributions this model undergoes a phase transition with…
We provide an explicit formula for the limiting free energy density (log-partition function divided by the number of vertices) for ferromagnetic Potts models on uniformly sparse graph sequences converging locally to the d-regular tree for d…
We investigate both free energy and complexity of the spherical bipartite spin glass model. We first prove a variational formula in high temperature for the limiting free energy based on the well-known Crisanti-Sommers representation of the…
