Random tensor models in the large N limit: Uncoloring the colored tensor models

Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: Tensor models generalize random matrix models in yielding a theory of dynamical triangulations in arbitrary dimensions. Colored tensor models have been shown to admit a $1/N$ expansion and a continuum limit accessible analytically. In this paper we prove that these results extend to the most general tensor model for a single generic, i.e. nonsymmetric, complex tensor. Colors appear in this setting as a canonical bookkeeping device and not as a fundamental feature. In the large $N$ limit, we exhibit a set of Virasoro constraints satisfied by the free energy and an infinite family of multicritical behaviors with entropy exponents ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{m}=1\ensuremath{-}1/m$.
