We propose an improved iterative scheme for calculating higher genus contributions to the multi-loop (or multi-point) correlators and the partition function of the hermitian one matrix model. We present explicit results up to genus two. We…

We investigate the two-logarithm matrix model with the potential $X\Lambda+\alpha\log(1+X)+\beta\log(1-X)$ related to an exactly solvable Kazakov-Migdal model. In the proper normalization, using Virasoro constraints, we prove the…

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 obtain the topological expansion of the hermitian matrix model using its representation as a CFT on a hyperelliptic Riemann surface. To each branch point of the Riemann surface we associate an operator which represents a twist field…

We develop an iterative algorithm for the genus expansion of the hermitian $N\times N$ one-matrix model ( = the Penner model in an external field). By introducing moments of the external field, we prove that the genus $g$ contribution to…

Loop equations of matrix models express the invariance of the models under field redefinitions. We use loop equations to prove that it is possible to define continuum times for the generic hermitian {1-matrix} model such that all…

We show that partition functions of various matrix models can be obtained by acting on elementary functions with exponents of W-operators. A number of illustrations is given, including the Gaussian Hermitian matrix model, Hermitian model in…

The exactly solvable four-vertex model with the fixed boundary conditions in the presence of inhomogeneous linearly growing external field is considered. The partition function of the model is calculated and represented in the determinantal…

In this thesis generalizations of matrix and eigenvalue models involving supersymmetry are discussed. Following a brief review of the Hermitian one matrix model, the c=-2 matrix model is considered. Built from a matrix valued superfield…

We discuss the relation between matrix models and the Seiberg--Witten type (SW) theories, recently proposed by Dijkgraaf and Vafa. In particular, we prove that the partition function of the Hermitean one-matrix model in the planar (large…

We derive one-point functions of the loop operators of Hermitian matrix-chain models at finite $N$ in terms of differential operators acting on the partition functions. The differential operators are completely determined by recursion…

We study the Hermitian supermatrix model involving an external source. We derive the determinantal formula for the supermatrix partition function, and also for the expectation value of the characteristic polynomial ratio, which yields the…

Since the ($\beta$-deformed) hermitian one-matrix models can be represented as the integrated conformal field theory (CFT) expectation values, we construct the operators in terms of the generators of the Heisenberg algebra such that the…

Differential reformulations of field theories are often used for explicit computations. We derive a one-matrix differential formulation of two-matrix models, with the help of which it is possible to diagonalize the one- and two-matrix…

We study a U(N) gauged matrix quantum mechanics which, in the large N limit, is closely related to the chiral WZW conformal field theory. This manifests itself in two ways. First, we construct the left-moving Kac-Moody algebra from matrix…

We relate Nekrasov partition functions, with arbitrary values of $\epsilon_1,\epsilon_2$ parameters, to matrix models for $\beta$-ensembles. We find matrix models encoding the instanton part of Nekrasov partition functions, whose measure,…

We summarize the recent results about complete solvability of Hermitian and rectangular complex matrix models. Partition functions have very simple character expansions with coefficients made from dimensions of representation of the linear…

In arXiv:hep-th/0310113 we started a program of creating a reference-book on matrix-model tau-functions, the new generation of special functions, which are going to play an important role in string theory calculations. The main focus of…

The behavior of correlation functions is studied in a class of matrix models characterized by a measure $\exp(-S)$ containing a potential term and an external source term: $S=N\tr(V(M)-MA)$. In the large $N$ limit, the short-distance…

We propose a random matrix model as a representation for $D=1$ open strings. We show that the model is equivalent to $N$ fermions with spin in a central potential that also includes a long-range ferromagnetic interaction between the…
