In our recent publications, the partition function of the Gross–Witten–Wadia unitary matrix model with the logarithmic term has been identified with the [Formula: see text] function of a certain Painlevé system, and the double scaling limit of the associated discrete Painlevé equation to the critical point provides us with the Painlevé II equation. This limit captures the critical behavior of the [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] supersymmetric gauge theory around its Argyres–Douglas 4D superconformal point. Here, we consider further extension of the model that contains the [Formula: see text]th multicritical point and that is to be identified with [Formula: see text] theory. In the [Formula: see text] case, we derive a system of two ODEs for the scaling functions to the free energy, the time variable being the scaled total mass and make a consistency check on the spectral curve on this matrix model.

The lowest critical point of one unitary matrix model with cosine plus logarithmic potential is known to correspond with the [Formula: see text] Argyres–Douglas (AD) theory and its double scaling limit derives the Painlevé II equation with parameter. Here, we consider the critical points associated with all cosine potentials and determine the scaling operators, their vacuum expectation values (vevs) and their scaling dimensions from perturbed string equations at planar level. These dimensions agree with those of [Formula: see text] AD theory.

Abstract We study a unitary matrix model of the Gross-Witten-Wadia type, extended with the addition of characteristic polynomial insertions. The model interpolates between solvable unitary matrix models and is the unitary counterpart of a deformed Cauchy ensemble. Exact formulas for the partition function and Wilson loops are given in terms of Toeplitz determinants and minors and large N results are obtained by using Szegö theorem with a Fisher-Hartwig singularity. In the large N (planar) limit with two scaled couplings, the theory exhibits a surprisingly intricate phase structure in the two-dimensional parameter space.

We present the solution of the discrete super-Virasoro constraints to all orders of the genus expansion. Integrating over the fermionic variables we get a representation of the partition function in terms of the one-matrix model. We also obtain the non-perturbative solution of the super-Virasoro constraints in the double scaling limit but do not find agreement between our flows and the known supersymmetric extensions of KdV.

We analyze the double scaling limit of unitary matrix models in terms of trigonometric orthogonal polynomials on the circle. In particular we find a compact formulation of the string equation at the kth multicritical point in terms of pseudodifferential operators and a corresponding action principle. We also relate this approach to the mKdV hierarchy which appears in the analysis in terms of conventional orthogonal polynomials on the circle.
