CFF unit is pleased to invite you to the seminar!

Language: English

Title: Matrix Models and Topological Recursion II

Abstract: Continued from the previous lecture, we will study how the topological recursion was discovered in the study of Hermitian matrix models. More concretely, starting with the spectral curve of a 1-cut Hermitian matrix model, I will present a computational technique that recursively solves loop equations. If time permits, I will make the recursive technique more abstract, and "define" the topological recursion.

Speaker: Prof. Limin Tong College of Optical Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, China
