Supersymmetric Virasoro Minimal Strings (2401.08786v4)
Published 16 Jan 2024 in hep-th and gr-qc
Abstract: A random matrix model definition of a family of ${\cal N}{=}1$ supersymmetric extensions of the Virasoro minimal string of Collier, Eberhardt, M\"{u}hlmann, and Rodriguez is presented. An analysis of the defining string equations shows that the models all naturally have unambiguous non-perturbative completions, which are explicitly supplied by the double-scaled orthogonal polynomial techniques employed. Perturbatively, the multi-loop correlation functions of the model define a special supersymmetric class of ``quantum volumes'', generalizing the prototype case, some of which are computed.
- The double-scaling limitBrezin:1990rb; *Douglas:1990ve; *Gross:1990vs; *Gross:1990aw takes a large N𝑁Nitalic_N limit of an N×N𝑁𝑁N{\times}Nitalic_N × italic_N matrix model while tuning parameters in its potential to a critical point, yielding a model of 2D gravity.

- Beyond the leading order equations to come, there will be a choice of matrix ensemble to be made. E.g., the models discussed here, of “A-type” built from single-cut (𝜶,2)𝜶2({\boldsymbol{\alpha}},2)( bold_italic_α , 2 ) AZ Altland and Zirnbauer (1997) ensembles are distinct from a “B-type” that can be constructed as a Dyson class β=2𝛽2\beta{=}2italic_β = 2 ensemble with the hard edge behaviour arising from two cuts merging. See refs. Stanford and Witten (2020); Johnson et al. (2021), for the situation in JT supergravity. These, and other choices discussed in ref. Stanford and Witten (2020) should be accessible as super-VMS models by varying b𝑏bitalic_b away from 1.
