The asymmetric ABAB matrix model
In this letter, it is pointed out that the two matrix model defined by the
action S=(1/2)(tr A^2+tr B^2)-(alpha_A/4) tr A^4-(alpha_B/4) tr B^4-(beta/2)
tr(AB)^2 can be solved in the large N limit using a generalization of the
solution of Kazakov and Zinn-Justin (who considered the symmetric case
alpha_A=alpha_B). This model could have useful applications to 3D Lorentzian
gravity.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figur
Proof of Razumov-Stroganov conjecture for some infinite families of link patterns
We prove the Razumov--Stroganov conjecture relating ground state of the O(1)
loop model and counting of Fully Packed Loops in the case of certain types of
link patterns. The main focus is on link patterns with three series of nested
arches, for which we use as key ingredient of the proof a generalization of the
Mac Mahon formula for the number of plane partitions which includes three
series of parameters
Jucys-Murphy elements and Weingarten matrices
We provide a compact proof of the recent formula of Collins and Matsumoto for
the Weingarten matrix of the orthogonal group using Jucys-Murphy elements.Comment: v2: added a referenc
Universality of correlation functions of hermitian random matrices in an external field
The behavior of correlation functions is studied in a class of matrix models
characterized by a measure containing a potential term and an
external source term: S=N\tr(V(M)-MA). In the large limit, the
short-distance behavior is found to be identical to the one obtained in
previously studied matrix models, thus extending the universality of the
level-spacing distribution. The calculation of correlation functions involves
(finite ) determinant formulae, reducing the problem to the large
asymptotic analysis of a single kernel . This is performed by an appropriate
matrix integral formulation of . Multi-matrix generalizations of these
results are discussed.Comment: 29 pages, Te
The General O(n) Quartic Matrix Model and its application to Counting Tangles and Links
The counting of alternating tangles in terms of their crossing number, number
of external legs and connected components is presented here in a unified
framework using quantum field-theoretic methods applied to a matrix model of
colored links. The overcounting related to topological equivalence of diagrams
is removed by means of a renormalization scheme of the matrix model; the
corresponding ``renormalization equations'' are derived. Some particular cases
are studied in detail and solved exactly.Comment: 21 page
