Non-homogenous disks in the chain of matrices
We investigate the generating functions of multi-colored discrete disks with
non-homogenous boundary conditions in the context of the Hermitian multi-matrix
model where the matrices are coupled in an open chain. We show that the study
of the spectral curve of the matrix model allows one to solve a set of loop
equations to get a recursive formula computing mixed trace correlation
functions to leading order in the large matrix limit.Comment: 25 pages, 4 figure
Enumeration of maps with self avoiding loops and the O(n) model on random lattices of all topologies
We compute the generating functions of a O(n) model (loop gas model) on a
random lattice of any topology. On the disc and the cylinder, they were already
known, and here we compute all the other topologies. We find that the
generating functions (and the correlation functions of the lattice) obey the
topological recursion, as usual in matrix models, i.e they are given by the
symplectic invariants of their spectral curve.Comment: pdflatex, 89 pages, 12 labelled figures (15 figures at all), minor

Topological expansion of beta-ensemble model and quantum algebraic geometry in the sectorwise approach
We solve the loop equations of the -ensemble model analogously to the
solution found for the Hermitian matrices . For \beta=1y^2=U(x)\beta((\hbar\partial)^2-U(x))\psi(x)=0\hbar\propto
(\sqrt\beta-1/\sqrt\beta)/Ny^2-U(x)[y,x]=\hbarF_h-expansion at arbitrary . The set of "flat"
coordinates comprises the potential times and the occupation numbers
\widetilde{\epsilon}_\alpha\mathcal F_0\widetilde{\epsilon}_\alpha$.Comment: 58 pages, 7 figure
Large deviations of the maximal eigenvalue of random matrices
We present detailed computations of the 'at least finite' terms (three
dominant orders) of the free energy in a one-cut matrix model with a hard edge
a, in beta-ensembles, with any polynomial potential. beta is a positive number,
so not restricted to the standard values beta = 1 (hermitian matrices), beta =
1/2 (symmetric matrices), beta = 2 (quaternionic self-dual matrices). This
model allows to study the statistic of the maximum eigenvalue of random
matrices. We compute the large deviation function to the left of the expected
maximum. We specialize our results to the gaussian beta-ensembles and check
them numerically. Our method is based on general results and procedures already
developed in the literature to solve the Pastur equations (also called "loop
equations"). It allows to compute the left tail of the analog of Tracy-Widom
laws for any beta, including the constant term.Comment: 62 pages, 4 figures, pdflatex ; v2 bibliography corrected ; v3 typos

Second and Third Order Observables of the Two-Matrix Model
In this paper we complement our recent result on the explicit formula for the
planar limit of the free energy of the two-matrix model by computing the second
and third order observables of the model in terms of canonical structures of
the underlying genus g spectral curve. In particular we provide explicit
formulas for any three-loop correlator of the model. Some explicit examples are
worked out.Comment: 22 pages, v2 with added references and minor correction

Nonperturbative effects and nonperturbative definitions in matrix models and topological strings
We develop techniques to compute multi-instanton corrections to the 1/N
expansion in matrix models described by orthogonal polynomials. These
techniques are based on finding trans-series solutions, i.e. formal solutions
with exponentially small corrections, to the recursion relations characterizing
the free energy. We illustrate this method in the Hermitian, quartic matrix
model, and we provide a detailed description of the instanton corrections in
the Gross-Witten-Wadia (GWW) unitary matrix model. Moreover, we use Borel
resummation techniques and results from the theory of resurgent functions to
relate the formal multi-instanton series to the nonperturbative definition of
the matrix model. We study this relation in the case of the GWW model and its
double-scaling limit, providing in this way a nice illustration of various
mechanisms connecting the resummation of perturbative series to nonperturbative
results, like the cancellation of nonperturbative ambiguities. Finally, we
argue that trans-series solutions are also relevant in the context of
topological string theory. In particular, we point out that in topological
string models with both a matrix model and a large N gauge theory description,
the nonperturbative, holographic definition involves a sum over the
multi-instanton sectors of the matrix modelComment: 50 pages, 12 figures, comments and references added, small

Geometric Transition as a Change of Polarization
Taking the results of hep-th/0702110 we study the Dijkgraaf-Vafa open/closed
topological string duality by considering the wavefunction behavior of the
partition function. We find that the geometric transition associated with the
duality can be seen as a change of polarization.Comment: 20 page
Matrices coupled in a chain. I. Eigenvalue correlations
The general correlation function for the eigenvalues of complex hermitian
matrices coupled in a chain is given as a single determinant. For this we use a
slight generalization of a theorem of Dyson.Comment: ftex eynmeh.tex, 2 files, 8 pages Submitted to: J. Phys.
Bridging tools to better understand environmental performances and raw materials supply of traction batteries in the future EU fleet
Sustainable and smart mobility and associated energy systems are key to decarbonise the EU and develop a clean, resource efficient, circular and carbon-neutral future. To achieve the 2030 and 2050 targets, technological and societal changes are needed. This transition will inevitably change the composition of the future EU fleet, with an increasing share of electric vehicles (xEVs). To assess the potential contribution of lithium-ion traction batteries (LIBs) in decreasing the environmental burdens of EU mobility, several aspects should be included. Even though environmental assessments of batteries along their life-cycle have been already conducted using life-cycle assessment, a single tool does not likely provide a complete overview of such a complex system. Complementary information is provided by material flow analysis and criticality assessment, with emphasis on supply risk. Bridging complementary aspects can better support decision-making, especially when different strategies are simultaneously tackled. The results point out that the future life-cycle GWP of traction LIBs will likely improve, mainly due to more environmental-friendly energy mix and improved recycling. Even though second-use will postpone available materials for recycling, both these end-of-life strategies allow keeping the values of materials in the circular economy, with recycling also contributing to mitigate the supply risk of Lithium and Nickel
