We point out two extensions of the relation between matrix models, topological strings and N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories. First, we note that by considering double scaling limits of unitary matrix models one can obtain large N duals of the local Calabi-Yau geometries that engineer N=2 gauge theories. In particular, a double scaling limit of the Gross-Witten one-plaquette lattice model gives the SU(2) Seiberg-Witten solution, including its induced gravitational corrections. Secondly, we point out that the effective superpotential terms for N=1 ADE quiver gauge theories is similarly computed by large multi-matrix models, that have been considered in the context of ADE minimal models on random surfaces. The associated spectral curves are multiple branched covers obtained as Virasoro and W-constraints of the partition function.

  1. The universality class of the first levels in low-dimensional gravity

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Near-edge states in dense chaotic systems and in JT gravity have a universal, analytically computed fidelity susceptibility distribution that is heavy-tailed yet parametrically more rigid than bulk states.

  2. On the large N convergence of matrix models

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the semiclassical approximation the eigenvalues of the SU(N) matrix model Hamiltonian converge one-to-one to the eigenvalues of the continuum supermembrane Hamiltonian with central charge as N approaches infinity.

  3. Comments on firewalls in JT gravity with matter

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A twist factor cutoff from eigenvalue branes reproduces the gray hole firewall probabilities in JT gravity, with matter loop corrections subleading at late times.

  4. Phases and triple(multiple) point: critical phenomena around the AD singularity

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For the L=2 one-unitary matrix model, the paper determines the phase separation lines, finds a triple point at (tau, lambda)=(1/8, 3/2), and identifies the 1-to-2 gap line as the k=2 multicritical line.
