Second Order Asymptotics for Matrix Models
نویسنده
چکیده
We study several-matrix models and show that when the potential is convex and a small perturbation of the Gaussian potential, the first order correction to the free energy can be expressed as a generating function for the enumeration of maps of genus one. In order to do that, we prove a central limit theorem for traces of words of the weakly interacting random matrices defined by these matrix models and show that the variance is a generating function for the number of planar maps with two vertices with prescribed colored edges.

On the Second-order Correlation Function of the Characteristic Polynomial of a Hermitian Wigner Matrix
We consider the asymptotics of the second-order correlation function of the characteristic polynomial of a random matrix. We show that the known result for a random matrix from the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble essentially continues to hold for a general Hermitian Wigner matrix. Our proofs rely on an explicit formula for the exponential generating function of the second-order correlation function o...
متن کاملNonperturbative Effects and the Large–Order Behavior of Matrix Models and Topological Strings
This work addresses nonperturbative effects in both matrix models and topological strings, and their relation with the large–order behavior of the 1/N expansion. We study instanton configurations in generic one–cut matrix models, obtaining explicit results for the one–instanton amplitude at both one and two loops. The holographic description of topological strings in terms of matrix models impl...
متن کاملRapidly Converging Phase Field Models via Second Order Asymptotics
We consider phase field models with the objective of approximating sharp interface models. By using second order asymptotics in the interface thickness parameter, ε, we develop models in which the order ε term is eliminated, suggesting more rapid convergence to the ε = 0 (sharp interface) limit. In addition we use non-smooth potentials with a non-zero gradient at the roots. These changes result...
