Second order asymptotics for matrix models
We study several-matrix models and show that when the potential is convex and
a small perturbation of the Gaussian potential, the first order correction to
the free energy can be expressed as a generating function for the enumeration
of maps of genus one. In order to do that, we prove a central limit theorem for
traces of words of the weakly interacting random matrices defined by these
matrix models and show that the variance is a generating function for the
number of planar maps with two vertices with prescribed colored edges.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/009117907000000141 the

Asymptotics of unitary and othogonal matrix integrals
In this paper, we prove that in small parameter regions, arbitrary unitary
matrix integrals converge in the large limit and match their formal
expansion. Secondly we give a combinatorial model for our matrix integral
asymptotics and investigate examples related to free probability and the HCIZ
integral. Our convergence result also leads us to new results of smoothness of
microstates. We finally generalize our approach to integrals over the othogonal
group.Comment: 41 pages, important modifications, new section about orthogonal
