The theory of matrix models is reviewed from the point of view of its relation to integrable hierarchies. Determinantal formulas, relation to conformal field models and the theory of Generalized Kontsevich model are discussed in some…

The Ward identities in Kontsevich-like 1-matrix models are used to prove at the level of discrete matrix models the suggestion of Gava and Narain, which relates the degree of potential in asymmetric 2-matrix model to the form of $\cal…

A review of the appearence of integrable structures in the matrix model description of $2d$-gravity is presented. Most of ideas are demonstrated at the technically simple but ideologically important examples. Matrix models are considered as…

We consider the simplest gauge theories given by one- and two- matrix integrals and concentrate on their stringy and geometric properties. We remind general integrable structure behind the matrix integrals and turn to the geometric…

In these notes we explore a variety of models comprising a large number of constituents. An emphasis is placed on integrals over large Hermitian matrices, as well as quantum mechanical models whose degrees of freedom are organised in 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…

The technique of $Q$-polinomials are used to derive the $w$- constraints in the two-matrix and Kontsevich-like model at finite $N$. These constraints are closed and form Lie algebra. They are associated with the matrices, $\lambda…

A new family of asymmetric matrices of Walsh-Hadamard type is introduced. We study their properties and, in particular, compute their determinants and discuss their eigenvalues. The invertibility of these matrices implies that certain…

The review is devoted to the integrable properties of the Generalized Kontsevich Model which is supposed to be an universal matrix model to describe the conformal field theories with $c<1$. It is shown that the deformations of the…

Concise review of the basic properties of unitary matrix integrals. They are studied with the help of the three matrix models: the ordinary unitary model, Brezin-Gross-Witten model and the Harish-Charndra-Itzykson-Zuber model. Especial…

We present an intuitive diagrammatic representation of a new class of integrable $\s$-models. It is shown that to any given diagram corresponds an integrable theory that couples $N$ WZW models with a certain number of each of the following…

In a brief review, we discuss interrelations between arbitrary solutions of the loop equations that describe Hermitean one-matrix model and particular (multi-cut) solutions that describe concrete matrix integrals. These latter ones enjoy a…

Brief review of concepts and unsolved problems in the theory of matrix models.

We discuss the space of solutions to the Ward identities associated with the WLZZ models. We mostly concentrate on the case of these models described by a two-matrix model with the cubic potential in one of the matrices. We study how this…

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 compute exact solutions of two--matrix models, i.e. detailed genus by genus expressions for the correlation functions of these theories, calculated without any approximation. We distinguish between two types of models, the unconstrained…

The main goal of the paper is to present a new approach via Hurwitz numbers to Kontsevich's combinatorial/matrix model for the intersection theory of the moduli space of curves. A secondary goal is to present an exposition of the circle of…

In these talks, I discuss a few selected topics in integrable models that are of interest from various points of view. Some open questions are also described.

We propose to take a look at a new approach to the study of integral polyhedra. The main idea is to give an integral representation, or matrix model representation, for the key combinatorial characteristics of integral polytopes. Based on…

The role of integrable systems in string theory is discussed. We remind old examples of the correspondence between stringy partition functions or effective actions and integrable equations, based on effective application of the matrix model…
