What unitary matrix models are not?

High Energy Physics - Theory 2013-11-13 v1

Abstract

We report results of two investigations of the double-scaling equations for the unitary matrix models. First, the fixed area partition functions have all positive coefficients only for the first four critical points. This implies that the critical points at k5k\ge5 describe non-unitary continuum theories. Secondly, we examine a conjectured connection to branched polymers, but find that the scaling solutions of the unitary models do not agree with those of a particular model describing branched polymers.
