The calculation of expectation values in Gaussian random tensor theory via meanders

Abstract: A difficult problem in the theory of random tensors is to calculate the expectation values of polynomials in the tensor entries, even in the large N limit and in a Gaussian distribution. Here we address this issue, focusing on a family of polynomials labeled by permutations, which naturally generalize the single-trace invariants of random matrix models. Through Wick's theorem, we show that the Feynman graph expansion of the expectation values of those polynomials enumerates meandric systems whose lower arch co… Show more

“…For non-quartic bubbles, very few results exist, see for instance [6,7] where graphs with a single bubble, and for specific bubbles, are studied, focusing on those which maximize the number of faces. In a few instances, a non-direct approach was developed.…”

“…For the sake of completeness, let us also mention that some relations between tensor models and matrix models have been investigated in [7]. Moreover, relations between tensor models and meanders have been studied in [6]. Finally, some relations between the counting of tensor model observables and branched covers of the two-sphere have been proved in [4].…”

“…The integral is performed using (6) and n denotes the number of matrix elements of U . Each term in the resulting sum over permutations σ, τ ∈ S n is represented as a diagram obtained from the one of the integrand by adding a dashed edge for each Kronecker delta.…”

“…The so-called melonic polynomials all have a single leading order Wick contraction (as well as a generalization of this family including nearly-melonic polynomials) [4]. A family of polynomials has been found in [6] whose numbers of leading order Wick contractions are numbers of meandric systems.…”
