In the general framework of one-Hermitian-matrix models, we study critical behaviors such that δx~δRm/n~δSm; δx, δS and δR are, respectively, the bare cosmological constant and the orthogonal-polynomial coefficients around criticality. On the sphere, we prove the existence of consistent multicriticality conditions such that string equations exhibit the above behavior. We define a double scaling limit and write down exact equations for the specific heat for any (m, n) model. Their solutions are unambiguous and the only corrections come from genus-one topology. We compute exact correlation functions for well-defined scaling operators. These belong to two different sectors. One of them is such that any squared operator vanishes when inserted in any correlation function. We discuss briefly the flows between these multicritical points as well as the nature of the 2D field theories coupled to gravity which they can describe.

Double Scaling Limit

Loop equations of matrix models express the invariance of the models under field redefinitions. We use loop equations to prove that it is possible to define continuum times for the generic Hermitian one-matrix model such that all correlation functions in the double scaling limit agree with the corresponding correlation functions of the Kontsevich model expressed in terms of KdV times. In addition the double scaling limit of the partition function of the Hermitian matrix model agrees with the τ-function of the KdV hierarchy corresponding to the Kontsevich model (and not the square of the τ-function) except for some complications at genus zero.

The Continuum

The double scaling limit of a new class of the multi-matrix models proposed in Ref. 1, which possess the W-symmetry at the discrete level, is investigated in detail. These models are demonstrated to fall into the same universality class as the standard multi-matrix models. In particular, the transformation of the W-algebra at the discrete level into the continuum one of the papers2 is proposed and the corresponding partition functions compared. All calculations are demonstrated in full in the first nontrivial case of W(3)-constraints.

Double Scaling Limit

We analyze the double scaling limit of unitary matrix models in terms of trigonometric orthogonal polynomials on the circle. In particular we find a compact formulation of the string equation at the kth multicritical point in terms of pseudodifferential operators and a corresponding action principle. We also relate this approach to the mKdV hierarchy which appears in the analysis in terms of conventional orthogonal polynomials on the circle.

Topological Gravity

In the context of Hermitian one-matrix models we show that the emergence of the NLS hierarchy and of its reduction, the KdV hierarchy, is an exact result of the lattice characterizing the matrix model. Said otherwise, we are not obliged to take a continuum limit to find these hierarchies. We interpret this result as an indication of the topological nature of them. We discuss the topological field theories associated with both and discuss the connection with topological field theories coupled to topological gravity already studied in the literature.

We propose random matrix models which have N=1/2 supersymmetry in zero dimension. The supersymmetry breaks down spontaneously. It is shown that the double scaling limit can be defined in these models and the breakdown of the supersymmetry remains in the continuum limit. The exact non-trivial partition functions of the string theories corresponding to these matrix models are also obtained.

Double Scaling Limit

We study in the double scaling limit the two-matrix model which represents the sum over closed and open random surfaces coupled to an Ising model. The boundary conditions are characterized by the fact that the Ising spins sitting at the vertices of the boundaries are all in the same state. We obtain the string equation.
