Matrix Models as Integrable Systems
read the original abstract
The theory of matrix models is reviewed from the point of view of its relation to integrable hierarchies. Determinantal formulas, relation to conformal field models and the theory of Generalized Kontsevich model are discussed in some detail. Attention is also paid to the group-theoretical interpretation of $\tau$-functions which allows to go beyond the restricted set of the (multicomponent) KP and Toda integrable hierarchies.

Two roles of Alexander in two Kashaev phases
Alexander polynomials appear in two opposite roles in two Kashaev phases of Chern-Simons theory due to co-existing branches in the quasiclassical limit with non-trivial versus vanishing classical actions.
