abstract

We show in details that the all-orders genus expansion of the two-cut Hermitian cubic matrix model reproduces the perturbative expansion of the $H_1$ Argyres-Douglas theory coupled to the $\Omega$ background. In the self-dual limit we use the Painlev\'e/gauge correspondence and we show that, after summing over all instanton sectors, the two-cut cubic matrix model computes the tau function of Painlev\'e II without taking any double scaling limit or adding any external fields. We decode such solution within the context of trans-series. Finally in the Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit we connect the $H_1$ and the $H_0$ Argyres-Douglas theories to the quantum mechanical models with cubic and double well potentials.

  1. Eigenfunctions of deformed Schr\"odinger equations

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Explicit entire eigenfunctions are constructed for the difference operators 2Λ^N cosh(p)+V_N(x) with arbitrary polynomial potential; they become square-integrable only at a discrete set of energies.

  2. Emptiness formation probability and Painlev\'e V equation in the XY spin chain

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The emptiness formation probability of the XY chain, in the double-scaling limit near its critical lines, is governed by a Painleve V tau function; the result is exact at the Ising point and numerically supported elsewhere.
