abstract
We show that the $c=1$ bosonic string theory at finite temperature has two matrix-model realizations related by a kind of duality transformation. The first realization is the standard one given by the compactified matrix quantum mechanics in the inverted oscillator potential. The second realization, which we derive here, is given by the normal matrix model. Both matrix models exhibit the Toda integrable structure and are associated with two dual cycles (a compact and a non-compact one) of a complex curve with the topology of a sphere with two punctures. The equivalence of the two matrix models holds for an arbitrary tachyon perturbation and in all orders in the string coupling constant.

Sine-Liouville gravity as a Vertex Model on Planar Graphs
The seven-vertex matrix model realizes sine-Liouville gravity through a shared classical spectral curve with matrix quantum mechanics but distinct branes, with dilute-dense flow analogous to a gravitational massless s...

Strings from Feynman Diagrams
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.
