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…
Non-Integrability of Two-Dimensional QCD
Werner Krauth, Matthias Staudacher
In this paper we numerically demonstrate that massless two-dimensional QCD is not integrable. To this aim, we explicitly solve the 't Hooft integral equation for bound states by an…
Exact Solution of Discrete Two-Dimensional R^2 Gravity
V. A. Kazakov, M. Staudacher, T. Wynter
We exactly solve a special matrix model of dually weighted planar graphs describing pure two-dimensional quantum gravity with an R^2 interaction. It permits us to study the interme…
Advances in Large N Group Theory and the Solution of Two-Dimensional R^2 Gravity
V. A. Kazakov, M. Staudacher, T. Wynter
We review the recent exact solution of a matrix model which interpolates between flat and random lattices. The importance of the results is twofold: Firstly, we have developed a ne…
