abstract

In [arXiv:1805.05057 [hep-th]],[arXiv:1812.00811 [hep-th]], the partition function of the Gross-Witten-Wadia unitary matrix model with the logarithmic term has been identified with the $\tau$ function of a certain Painlev\'{e} system, and the double scaling limit of the associated discrete Painlev\'{e} equation to the critical point provides us with the Painlev\'{e} II equation. This limit captures the critical behavior of the $su(2)$, $N_f =2$ $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theory around its Argyres-Douglas $4D$ superconformal point. Here, we consider further extension of the model that contains the $k$-th multicritical point and that is to be identified with $\hat{A}_{2k, 2k}$ theory. In the $k=2$ case, we derive a system of two ODEs for the scaling functions to the free energy, the time variable being the scaled total mass and make a consistency check on the spectral curve on this matrix model.

    For unitary matrix models with potentials up to cos 3α, the paper infers phase diagrams from classical potential shape and shows beta functions on critical lines are nowhere vanishing, claiming third-order transitions.
