Topological string correlators from matrix models

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: We discuss how to compute connected matrix model correlators for operators related to the gravitational descendants of the puncture operator, for the topological A model on P 1. The relevant correlators are determined by recursion relations that follow from a systematic 1/N expansion of well chosen Schwinger-Dyson equations. Our results provide further compelling evidence for Gopakumar’s proposed “simplest gauge string duality” between the Gaussian matrix model and the topological A model on P 1.
