Generalized Kontsevich Model Versus Toda Hierarchy and Discrete Matrix Models

Abstract

We represent the partition function of the Generalized Kontsevich Model (GKM) in the form of a Toda lattice $\tau$-function and discuss various implications of non-vanishing "negative"- and "zero"-time variables: the appear to modify the original GKM action by negative-power and logarithmic contributions respectively. It is shown that so deformed $\tau$-function satisfies the same string equation as the original one. In the case of quadratic potential GKM turns out to describe {\it forced} Toda chain hierarchy and, thus, corresponds to a {\it discrete} matrix model, with the role of the matrix size played by the zero-time (at integer positive points). This relation allows one to discuss the double-scaling continuum limit entirely in terms of GKM, $i.e.$ essentially in terms of {\it finite}-fold integrals.
