Supermatrix models, loop equations, and duality

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study integrals over Hermitian supermatrices of arbitrary size p+q, that are parametrized by an external field X and a source Y, of respective size m+n and p+q. We show that these integrals exhibit a simple topological expansion in powers of a formal parameter hbar, which can be identified with 1/(p−q). The loop equation and the associated spectral curve are also obtained. The solutions to the loop equation are given in terms of the symplectic invariants introduced in arXiv:math-ph/0702045. The symmetry property of the latter objects allows us to prove a duality that relates supermatrix models in which the role of X and Y are interchanged.
