A matrix model describing surfaces embedded in a Bethe lattice is considered. From the mean field point of view, it is equivalent to the Kazakov-Migdal induced gauge theory and therefore, at N=∞ and d>1, the latter can be interpreted as a matrix model for infinite-tension strings. We show that, in the naive continuum limit, it is governed by the one-matrix model saddle point with an upside-down potential. To derive mean field equations, we consider the one-matrix model in external field. As a simple application, its explicit solution in the case of the inverted W potential is given.
