From Noncommutative Geometry to Random Matrix Theory
arXiv:2204.14216 · doi:10.1088/1751-8121/ac8fc5
Abstract
We review recent progress in the analytic study of random matrix models suggested by noncommutative geometry. One considers fuzzy spectral triples where the space of possible Dirac operators is assigned a probability distribution. These ensembles of Dirac operators are constructed as toy models of Euclidean quantum gravity on finite noncommutative spaces and display many interesting properties. The ensembles exhibit spectral phase transitions, and near these phase transitions they show manifold-like behavior. In certain cases one can recover Liouville quantum gravity in the double scaling limit. We highlight examples where bootstrap techniques, Coulomb gas methods, and Topological Recursion are applicable.
