Perturbative Unorientable JT Gravity and Matrix Models
Perturbative Unorientable JT Gravity and Matrix Models
We consider an orthogonal polynomial formulation of the double scaling limit of multicritical matrix models in the $\beta=1$ Dyson-Wigner class. They capture the physics of 2D quantum gravity coupled to minimal matter on unorientable surfaces, otherwise called unoriented minimal strings. We derive a formula for the density of states valid …
