Abstract

It has been known for some time that a hermitian matrix model with a Penner-like potential yields as its large-N free energy the prepotential of N=2 N_f=2 SU(2) SUSY gauge theory. We give a rigorous proof that a unitary matrix model with the identical potential also yields the same prepotential, although the parameter identifications are slightly different. This result has been anticipated by Itoyama et. al.
