Lagrangian varieties from q-matrix models
Abstract
We consider three specific q-deformed matrix models (the Chern-Simons, q-Laguerre, and q-Gaussian matrix models) which can be solved explicitly using the property of superintegrability. We show that one- and two-point functions of inverse characteristic polynomials can be interpreted as quantizations of Lagrangian subvarieties in (ℂ*)2 and (ℂ*)4, respectively. While such a geometric picture is expected for the Chern-Simons matrix model, our results for the q-Laguerre and q-Gaussian models are new and exhibit additional features. In particular, specific anti-symplectic birational involutions play an essential role in the construction. This reformulation provides a geometric framework for analyzing the semiclassical, large-N expansion of matrix-model correlators. This picture is suggestive of the geometry underlying open topological strings, although the two constructions are not identical and the precise relation between them remains to be understood.

We show that one- and two-point functions of inverse characteristic polynomials can be interpreted as quantizations of Lagrangian subvarieties in (ℂ^*)^2 and (ℂ^*)^4, respectively. While such a geometric picture is expected for the Chern-Simons matrix model, our results for the q-Laguerre and q-Gaussian models are new and exhibit additional features.
