GENERALIZED c=1 MATRIX MODELS AND SYMMETRIC SPACES
Random matrix models with a line as a target space are considered. The models are a natural generalization of the Hermitian matrix model and connected with the classical symmetric spaces of the Euclidean type which were classified by Cartan. Ten different types of these spaces exist. Three models on a line related to these models are reduced to one-dimensional free N-fermion problems which have special symmetric configurations. The solutions in the double scaling limit to all orders of perturbation are the same as for the Hermitian matrix model. In the general case the fermions interact with the Calogero-Mozer integrable potential. Due to this fact only the planar limit can be calculated by applying the Hartree-Fock approximation procedure.
