On the Universality of Matrix Models for Random Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an alternative procedure to eliminate irregular contributions in the perturbation expansion of c=0–matrix models representing the sum over triangulations of random surfaces, thereby reproducing the results of Tutte [1] and Brézin et al. [2] for the planar model. The advantage of this method is that the universality of the critical exponents can be proven from general features of the model alone without explicit determination of the free energy and therefore allows for several straightforward generalizations including cases with non-vanishing central charge c < 1.

متن کاملUniversality for a class of random band matrices
We prove the universality for the eigenvalue gap statistics in the bulk of the spectrum for band matrices, in the regime where the band width is comparable with the dimension of the matrix, W ∼ N . All previous results concerning universality of non-Gaussian random matrices are for meanfield models. By relying on a new mean-field reduction technique, we deduce universality from quantum unique e...

متن کاملNon-perturbative Solution of Matrix Models Modified by Trace-squared Terms
We present a non-perturbative solution of large N matrix models modified by terms of the form g(TrΦ4)2, which add microscopic wormholes to the random surface geometry. For g < gt the sum over surfaces is in the same universality class as the g = 0 theory, and the string susceptibility exponent is reproduced by the conventional Liouville interaction ∼ eα+φ. For g = gt we find a different univers...
متن کاملNishimori Point in Random-bond Ising and Potts Models in 2d
We study the universality class of the fixed points of the 2D random bond q-state Potts model by means of numerical transfer matrix methods. In particular, we determine the critical exponents associated with the fixed point on the Nishimori line. Precise measurements show that the universality class of this fixed point is inconsistent with percolation on Potts clusters for q = 2, corresponding ...
