abstract

We discuss the relation between matrix models and the Seiberg--Witten type (SW) theories, recently proposed by Dijkgraaf and Vafa. In particular, we prove that the partition function of the Hermitean one-matrix model in the planar (large $N$) limit coincides with the prepotential of the corresponding SW theory. This partition function is the logarithm of a Whitham $\tau$-function. The corresponding Whitham hierarchy is explicitly constructed. The double-point problem is solved.

Phases in WLZZ Matrix Models

hep-th · 2025-07-07 · conditional · novelty 6.0

For WLZZ two-matrix models, integration contours describe only a finite-N subspace of Ward identity solutions, and the full solution space is recovered only in the N-to-infinity limit.
