Abstract

Correlation functions in a dynamic quartic matrix model are obtained from the two-point function through a recurrence relation. This paper gives the explicit solution of the recurrence by mapping it bijectively to a two-fold nested combinatorial structure each counted by Catalan numbers. These `nested Catalan tables' have a description as diagrams of non-crossing chords and threads.
