The large \(D\) limit of planar diagrams (Q2327723)

Summary: We show that in \(\mathrm{O}(D)\) invariant matrix theories containing a large number \(D\) of complex or Hermitian matrices, one can define a \(D \rightarrow \infty\) limit for which the sum over planar diagrams truncates to a tractable, yet non-trivial, sum over melon diagrams. In particular, results obtained recently in SYK and tensor models can be generalized to traditional, string-inspired matrix quantum mechanical models of black holes.
