abstract

We study the double scaling limit of mKdV type, realized in the two-cut Hermitian matrix model. Building on the work of Periwal and Shevitz and of Nappi, we find an exact solution including all odd scaling operators, in terms of a hierarchy of flows of $2\times 2$ matrices. We derive from it loop equations which can be expressed as Virasoro constraints on the partition function. We discover a ``pure topological" phase of the theory in which all correlation functions are determined by recursion relations. We also examine macroscopic loop amplitudes, which suggest a relation to 2D gravity coupled to dense polymers.

  1. Extended JT supergravity and random matrix models: The power of the string equation

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The string equation, with simple analyticity requirements, determines BPS sectors from non-BPS sectors and yields matrix model descriptions for N=3 and large N=4 JT supergravity.

  2. Further aspects of Supersymmetric Virasoro Minimal Strings

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper defines the 0B supersymmetric Virasoro minimal string as an average of two 0A models and shows its loop correlators beyond the leading disc and cylinder vanish to all orders in perturbation theory.
