The radial form of the partition function of a two-matrix model is formally given in terms of a spherical function for matrices representing any Euclidean symmetric space. An explicit expression is obtained by constructing the spherical function by the method of intertwining. The reduction of two-matrix models based on Lie algebras is an elementary application. A model based on the rank one symmetric space isomorphic to RN is less trivial and is treated in detail. This model may be interpreted as an Ising model on a random branched polymer. It has the unusual feature that the maximum order of criticality is different in the planar and double-scaling limits.

The star-matrix models are difficult to solve due to the multiple powers of the Vandermonde determinants in the partition function. We apply to these models a modified Q-matrix aprpoach and we get results consistent with those obtained by other methods. As examples we study the inhomogeneous Gaussian model on Bethe tree and matrix q-Potts-like model. For the last model in the special cases q=2 and q=3, we write down explicit formulas which determine the critical behavior of the system. For q=2 we argue that the critical behavior is indeed that of the Ising model on the ϕ3 lattice.

Abstract We study a unitary matrix model of the Gross-Witten-Wadia type, extended with the addition of characteristic polynomial insertions. The model interpolates between solvable unitary matrix models and is the unitary counterpart of a deformed Cauchy ensemble. Exact formulas for the partition function and Wilson loops are given in terms of Toeplitz determinants and minors and large N results are obtained by using Szegö theorem with a Fisher-Hartwig singularity. In the large N (planar) limit with two scaled couplings, the theory exhibits a surprisingly intricate phase structure in the two-dimensional parameter space.

We consider the anisotropic Ising model on the triangular lattice with finite boundaries, and use Kaufman’s spinor method to calculate low-temperature series expansions for the partition function to high order. From these, we can obtain 108-term series expansions for the bulk, surface and corner free energies. We extrapolate these to all terms and thereby conjecture the exact results for each. Our results agree with the exactly known bulk-free energy and with Cardy and Peschel’s conformal invariance predictions for the dominant behaviour at criticality. For the isotropic case, they also agree with Vernier and Jacobsen’s conjecture for the 60 ° corners.

The radius dependence of partition functions is explicitly evaluated in the continuum field theory of a compactified boson, interacting with two-dimensional quantum gravity (noncritical string) on Riemann surfaces for the first few genera. The partition function for the torus is found to be a sum of terms proportional to R and 1/R. This is in agreement with the result of a discretized version (matrix models), but is quite different from the critical string. The supersymmetric case is also explicitly evaluated.

A Riemannian manifold $M$ has higher hyperbolic rank if every geodesic has a perpendicular Jacobi field making sectional curvature $-1$ with the geodesic. If, in addition, the sectional curvatures of $M$ lie in the interval $[-1,-\frac{1}{4}]$ and $M$ is closed, we show that $M$ is a locally symmetric space of rank one. This partially extends work by Constantine using completely different methods. It is also a partial counterpart to Hamenstädt’s hyperbolic rank rigidity result for sectional curvatures $\leq -1$, and complements well-known results on Euclidean and spherical rank rigidity.
