Exact Solution of the Six-Vertex Model on a Random Lattice
Ivan Kostov
We solve exactly the 6-vertex model on a dynamical random lattice, using its representation as a large N matrix model. The model describes a gas of dense nonintersecting oriented l…

Conformal Field Theory Techniques in Random Matrix models
Ivan K. Kostov
In these notes we explain how the CFT description of random matrix models can be used to perform actual calculations. Our basic example is the hermitian matrix model, reformulated…

Dimensionally Reduced SYM_4 as Solvable Matrix Quantum Mechanics
Jens Hoppe, Vladimir Kazakov, Ivan K. Kostov
We study the quantum mechanical model obtained as a dimensional reduction of N=1 super Yang-Mills theory to a periodic light-cone "time". After mapping the theory to a cohomologica…
