| Research Abstract |
The topological invariance of the moduli space of Riemann surface is shown to be obtained from the Gaussian random matrix model with an external source by the tuning of external source. The invariance is classified by a parameter p, which characterizes the degeneracy of the external source. The invariance is related to the p-spin curves on the Riemann surface. This topological singularity is related the bifurcation of the growth of crystals. The parameter p is extended to the negative values(p=-1,-2,...) and it represents level k SL(2, R)/U(1) Wess-Zumino-Witten term. The case of p=-2 corresponds to the unitary matrix model, which has a phase transition. The strong and weak expansion are examined by Gaussian random matrix theory. This transition is studied in the relation of the phase transitions in the condensed matter problems. The time dependence of the random matrix model is studied by the reduction to 2-matrix model and the algebraic structure is investigated in details. The algebraic structure is found to be the associated W-algebra. The structure represents the deviation from N=2 supersymmetric minimal model and the change of the Ramond-Ramond term for the time dependence is studied.
