The Mother Body Phase Transition in the Normal Matrix Model
Share this pagePavel M. Bleher; Guilherme L. F. Silva
The normal matrix model with algebraic potential has gained a lot
of attention recently, partially in virtue of its connection to
several other topics as quadrature domains, inverse potential problems
and the Laplacian growth.
In this present paper the authors consider the normal matrix model
with cubic plus linear potential. In order to regularize the model, they
follow Elbau & Felder and introduce a cut-off. In the large size
limit, the eigenvalues of the model accumulate uniformly within a
certain domain \(\Omega\) that they determine explicitly by finding the
rational parametrization of its boundary.
The authors also study in detail the mother body problem associated
to \(\Omega\). It turns out that the mother body measure
\(\mu_*\) displays a novel phase transition that we call the
mother body phase transition: although \(\partial \Omega\)
evolves analytically, the mother body measure undergoes a
“one-cut to three-cut” phase transition.
