Matrix String Partition Functions

چکیده
We evaluate quasiclassically the Ramond partition function of Euclidean D = 10 U(N) super Yang-Mills theory reduced to a two-dimensional torus. The result can be interpreted in terms of free strings wrapping the space-time torus, as expected from the point of view of Matrix string theory. We demonstrate that, when extrapolated to the ultraviolet limit (small area of the torus), the quasiclassical expressions reproduce exactly the recently obtained expression for the partition of the completely reduced SYM theory, including the overall numerical factor. This is an evidence that our quasiclassical calculation might be exact.

The role of integrable systems in string theory is discussed. We remind old examples of the correspondence between stringy partition functions or effective actions and integrable equations, based on effective application of the matrix model technique. Then we turn to a new example, coming from the Nekrasov deformation of the Seiberg-Witten prepotential. In the last case the deformed theory is d...
متن کاملConvergent Yang-Mills Matrix Theories
We consider the partition function and correlation functions in the bosonic and supersymmetric Yang-Mills matrix models with compact semi-simple gauge group. In the supersymmetric case, we show that the partition function converges when D = 4, 6 and 10, and that correlation functions of degree k < kc = 2(D − 3) are convergent independently of the group. In the bosonic case we show that the part...
متن کاملThe Partition Function of 2D String Theory
We derive a compact and explicit expression for the generating functional of all correlation functions of tachyon operators in 2D string theory. This expression makes manifest relations of the c = 1 system to KP flow and W 1+∞ constraints. Moreover we derive a One of the beautiful aspects of the matrix-model formulation of c < 1 string theory is that it gives a natural and mathematically precis...
متن کاملThe Solution Space of the Unitary Matrix Model String Equation and the Sato Grassmannian
The space of all solutions to the string equation of the symmetric unitary one-matrix model is determined. It is shown that the string equation is equivalent to simple conditions on points V1 and V2 in the big cell Gr (0) of the Sato Grassmannian Gr. This is a consequence of a well-defined continuum limit in which the string equation has the simple form [P,Q−] = 1, with P and Q− 2× 2 matrices o...

Two consistency conditions for partition functions established by Akemann and Dam-gaard in their studies of the fermionic mass dependence of the QCD partition function at low energy (a la Leutwiller-Smilga-Verbaarschot) are interpreted in terms of integrable hierarchies. Their algebraic relation is shown to be a consequence of Wick's theorem for 2d fermionic correlators (Hirota identities) in t...
