Two-Dimensional Chiral Matrix Models and String Theories

Ivan K. Kostov, Matthias Staudacher

We formulate and solve a class of two-dimensional matrix gauge models describing ensembles of non-folding surfaces covering an oriented, discretized, two-dimensional manifold. We i…

A scenario for the c>1 barrier in non-critical bosonic strings

Francois David

The c<1 and c>1 matrix models are analyzed within large N renormalization group, taking into account touching (or branching) interactions. The c<1 modified matrix model with string…

Meanders: A Direct Enumeration Approach

P. Di Francesco, O. Golinelli, E. Guitter

We study the statistics of semi-meanders, i.e. configurations of a set of roads crossing a river through n bridges, and possibly winding around its source, as a toy model for compa…

Non-unitary Conformal Field Theory and Logarithmic Operators for Disordered Systems

Z. Maassarani, D. Serban

We consider the supersymmetric approach to gaussian disordered systems like the random bond Ising model and Dirac model with random mass and random potential. These models appeared…

Meanders and the Temperley-Lieb algebra

P. Di Francesco, O. Golinelli, E. Guitter

The statistics of meanders is studied in connection with the Temperley-Lieb algebra. Each (multi-component) meander corresponds to a pair of reduced elements of the algebra. The as…

The O(N) vector model in the large N limit revisited: multicritical points and double scaling limit

G. Eyal, M. Moshe, S. Nishigaki +1

The multicritical points of the invariant vector model in the large limit are reexamined. Of particular interest are the subtleties involved in the stability of the…
