Multiple phases and meromorphic deformations of unitary matrix models

Leonardo Santilli,
Miguel Tierz

Abstract: We study a unitary matrix model with Gross-Witten-Wadia weight function and determinant insertions. After some exact evaluations, we characterize the intricate phase diagram. There are five possible phases: an ungapped phase, two different one-cut gapped phases and two other two-cut gapped phases. The transition from the ungapped phase to any gapped phase is third order, but the transition between any one-cut and any two-cut phase is second order. The physics of tunneling from a metastable vacuum to a stable o… Show more

“…It is known that the unitary matrix models with general coupling have many phases [73,74,75,76,77]. We have considered the multi-critical models with real coupling g, and showed that they have three phases.…”

“…In the series of developments on the irregular limit of the A 1 (one-matrix) case [35][36][37][38][39][40][41], we have been led to the procedure of converting the hermitean matrix model into the unitary matrix model in order to make such procedure well-defined. The upshot from the case of N f = 2 is the well-known GWW model [42][43][44][45] (see also [46][47][48][49] for recent discussion) augmented by the log potential. The Painlevé II equation with parameter has been derived in the double scaling limit [35][36][37].…”
