Renormalization group for matrix models with branching interactions. (English) Zbl 0944.82010

Summary: The authors develop a method to obtain the large-\(N\) renormalization group flows for matrix models of two-dimensional gravity plus branched polymers. This method gives precise results for the critical points and exponents for one-matrix models. They show that it can be generalized to two-matrix models and they recover the Ising critical points.
