Normal random matrices and problems of complex analysis


Abstract:

The model of normal random matrices at large N is shown to provide a constructive proof of recent new results on the Dirichlet boundary problem and inverse potential problem in two dimensions. The key object of our analysis is the support of eigenvalues of the normal matrices in the planar large N limit. It is a domain D (or several disconnected domains) in the complex plane. The correlation functions of the model are expressed through the Green function of the domain complementary to the D. The 1/N expansion of the free energy of the model will be also discussed. Using the loop equation, the next-to-leading correction to the free energy (`genus 1 contribution') is related to the determinant of the Laplace operator in D.
