Notes on Matrix Models
2020
In these notes we explore a variety of models comprising a large number of constituents. An emphasis is placed on integrals over large Hermitian matrices, as well as quantum mechanical models whose degrees of freedom are organised in a matrix-like fashion. We discuss the relation of matrix models to two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to conformal matter. We provide a brief overview of a variety of more general quantum mechanical matrix models and their putative worldsheet interpretation, as well as other recent developments on large $N$ systems. We end with a discussion of open questions and future directions.
