The same complex matrix model calculates both tachyon scattering for the c=1 non-critical string at the self-dual radius and certain correlation functions of half-BPS operators in N=4 super-Yang-Mills. It is dual to another complex matrix model where the couplings of the first model are encoded in the Kontsevich-like variables of the second. The duality between the theories is mirrored by the duality of their Feynman diagrams. Analogously to the Hermitian Kontsevich-Penner model, the correlation functions of the second model can be written as sums over discrete points in subspaces of the moduli space of punctured Riemann surfaces.

  1. Negative heat capacities in spherically symmetric sectors of $d$-matrix quantum mechanics

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    SO(d) and O(d) invariant sectors of d-matrix QM show negative microcanonical heat capacity that becomes positive at k_crit ~ N^2/4, forming a caloric fold similar to AdS black holes.

  2. $c=1$, $R=1$ and $N\gg 1$: ZZ instantons in 2D String Theory and Matrix Integrals

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At self-dual radius, ZZ instanton normalizations from worldsheet string theory match the matrix model trans-series, with SU(2) boundary condition zero modes playing the key role.

  3. Strings from Feynman Diagrams

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Every Feynman diagram in a two-matrix model is mapped to a unique closed string worldsheet and Belyi embedding, with the diagram's weight equal to the string action.
