Abstract

We derive the loop equation for the 1-matrix model with generic difference-type measure for eigenvalues and develop a recursive algebraic framework for solving it to an arbitrary order in the coupling constant in and beyond the planar approximation. The planar limit is solved exactly for a one-parametric family of models and in the general case at strong coupling. The Wilson loop in the N=2* super-Yang-Mills theory and the Hoppe model are used to illustrate our methods.

Author indications on fulfilling journal expectations

  • Provide a novel and synergetic link between different research areas.
  • Open a new pathway in an existing or a new research direction, with clear potential for multi-pronged follow-up work
  • Detail a groundbreaking theoretical/experimental/computational discovery
  • Present a breakthrough on a previously-identified and long-standing research stumbling block

Author comments upon resubmission

We would like to thank the referee for bringing our attention to 1303.5808, 1307.4957
highly relevant for our work. These results and ours, we believe, are complementary as we mostly discuss genus-0
expectation values. Those are treated as an input in 1303.5808, 1307.4957 to generate
the whole topological expansion (if we misinterpret these results we are open for further suggestions).

We added a paragraph in the introduction on the relation of our work to 1303.5808, 1307.4957, and also comment on it in the beginning
of the conclusions.

List of changes

- Added refs [13] and [14]
- Added the fourth paragraph on p. 2 and the second paragraph in sec. 7 discussing the relation between this work and our results

Current status:
