Singularities of the Partition Function for the Ising Model Coupled to 2d Quantum Gravity
We study the zeros in the complex plane of the partition function for the
Ising model coupled to 2d quantum gravity for complex magnetic field and real
temperature, and for complex temperature and real magnetic field, respectively.
We compute the zeros by using the exact solution coming from a two matrix model
and by Monte Carlo simulations of Ising spins on dynamical triangulations. We
present evidence that the zeros form simple one-dimensional curves in the
complex plane, and that the critical behaviour of the system is governed by the
scaling of the distribution of the singularities near the critical point.
Despite the small size of the systems studied, we can obtain a reasonable
estimate of the (known) critical exponents.Comment: 22 pages, LaTeX2e, 10 figures, added discussion on antiferromagnetic

Comment on Dirac spectral sum rules for QCD_3
Recently Magnea hep-th/9907096 , hep-th/9912207 [Phys.Rev.D61, 056005 (2000);
Phys.Rev.D62, 016005 (2000)] claimed to have computed the first sum rules for
Dirac operators in 3D gauge theories from 0D non-linear sigma models. I point
out that these computations are incorrect, and that they contradict with the
exact results for the spectral densities unambiguously derived from random
matrix theory by Nagao and myself.Comment: REVTeX 3.1, 2 pages, no figure. (v2) redundant part removed,

The Width of the Colour Flux Tube
We discuss and rederive in a general way the logarithmic growth of the mean
squared width of the colour flux tube as a function of the interquark
separation. Recent data on 3D gauge theory, combined with high precision
data on the interface physics of the 3D Ising model fit nicely this behaviour
over a range of more than two orders of magnitude.Comment: 3 pages, contribution to the Lattice '94 conference, uuencoded

Fluid Interfaces in the 3D Ising Model as a Dilute Gas of Handles
We study the topology of fluid interfaces in the 3D Ising model in the rough
phase. It turns out that such interfaces are accurately described as dilute
gases of microscopic handles, and the stiffness of the interface increases with
the genus. The number of configurations of genus follows a Poisson-like
distribution. The probability per unit area for creating a handle is well
fitted in a wide range of the inverse temperature near the roughening
point by an exponentially decreasing function of . The procedure of
summing over all topologies results in an effective interface whose squared
width scales logarithmically with the lattice size.Comment: 15 pages, Latex and 10 ps figs (uuencoded file) DFTT 27/9
Spin-spin correlation functions of spin systems coupled to 2-d quantum gravity for
We perform Monte Carlo simulations of 2-d dynamically triangulated surfaces
coupled to Ising and three--states Potts model matter. By measuring spin-spin
correlation functions as a function of the geodesic distance we provide
substantial evidence for a diverging correlation length at . The
corresponding scaling exponents are directly related to the KPZ exponents of
the matter fields as conjectured in [4] (NPB454(1995)313).Comment: Talk presented at LATTICE96(gravity
Complex zeros of the 2d Ising model on dynamical random lattices
We study the zeros in the complex plane of the partition function for the
Ising model coupled to quantum gravity for complex magnetic field and for
complex temperature. We compute the zeros by using the exact solution coming
from a two matrix model and by Monte Carlo simulations of Ising spins on
dynamical triangulations. We present evidence that the zeros form simple
one-dimensional patterns in the complex plane, and that the critical behaviour
of the system is governed by the scaling of the distribution of singularities
near the critical point.Comment: 3 pages, 8 figures, latex2e, uses espcrc2.sty. Contribution to

Universality of random matrices in the microscopic limit and the Dirac operator spectrum
We prove the universality of correlation functions of chiral unitary and unitary ensembles of random matrices in the microscopic limit. The essence of the proof consists in reducing the three-term recursion relation for the relevant orthogonal polynomials into a Bessel equation governing the local asymptotics around the origin. The possible physical interpretation as the universality of the soft spectrum of the Dirac operator is briefly discussed
Three-dimensional QCD in the adjoint representation and random matrix theory
In this paper we complete the derivations of finite volume partition
functions for QCD using random matrix theories by calculating the effective
low-energy partition function for three-dimensional QCD in the adjoint
representation from a random matrix theory with the same global symmetries. As
expected, this case corresponds to Dyson index , that is, the Dirac
operator can be written in terms of real quaternions. After discussing the
issue of defining Majorana fermions in Euclidean space, the actual matrix model
calculation turns out to be simple. We find that the symmetry breaking pattern
is , as expected from the correspondence
between symmetric (super)spaces and random matrix universality classes found by
Zirnbauer. We also derive the first Leutwyler--Smilga sum rule.Comment: LaTeX, 19 pages. Minor corrections, added comments, to appear on
