Three-dimensional random tensor models are a natural generalization of the celebrated matrix models. The associated tensor graphs, or 3D maps, can be classified with respect to a particular integer or half-integer, the degree of the respective graph. In this paper we analyze the general term of the asymptotic expanion in $N$, the size of the tensor, of a particular random tensor model, the multi-orientable tensor model. We perform their enumeration and we establish which are the dominant configurations of a given degree.

After a brief presentation of random matrices as a random surface QFT approach to 2D quantum gravity, we focus on two crucial mathematical physics results: the implementation of the large N limit (N being here the size of the matrix) and of the double-scaling mechanism for matrix models. It is worth emphasizing that, in the large N limit, it is the planar surfaces which dominate. In the third section of the chapter we introduce tensor models, seen as a natural generalization, in dimension higher than two, of matrix models. The last section of the chapter presents a potential generalisation of the Bollobás–Riordan polynomial for tensor graphs (which are the Feynman graphs of the perturbative expansion of QFT tensor models).

In this chapter, we first review the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev (SYK) model, which is a quantum mechanical model of N fermions. The model is a quenched model, which means that the coupling constant is a random tensor with Gaussian distribution. The SYK model is dominated in the large N limit by melonic graphs, in the same way the tensor models presented in the previous three chapters are dominated by melonic graphs. We then present a purely graph theoretical proof of the melonic dominance of the SYK model. It is this property which led E. Witten to relate the SYK model to the coloured tensor model. In the rest of the chapter we deal with the so-called coloured SYK model, which is a particular case of the generalisation of the SYK model introduced by D. Gross and V. Rosenhaus. We first analyse in detail the leading order and next-to-leading order vacuum, two- and four-point Feynman graphs of this model. We then exhibit a thorough asymptotic combinatorial analysis of the Feynman graphs at an arbitrary order in the large N expansion. We end the chapter by an analysis of the effect of non-Gaussian distribution for the coupling of the model.

A background-independent route towards a universal continuum limit in discrete models of quantum gravity proceeds through a background-independent form of coarse graining. This review provides a pedagogical introduction to the conceptual ideas underlying the use of the number of degrees of freedom as a scale for a Renormalization Group flow. We focus on tensor models, for which we explain how the tensor size serves as the scale for a background-independent coarse-graining flow. This flow provides a new probe of a universal continuum limit in tensor models. We review the development and setup of this tool and summarize results in the two- and three-dimensional case. Moreover, we provide a step-by-step guide to the practical implementation of these ideas and tools by deriving the flow of couplings in a rank-4-tensor model. We discuss the phenomenon of dimensional reduction in these models and find tentative first hints for an interacting fixed point with potential relevance for the continuum limit in four-dimensional quantum gravity.

In its first section, this chapter presents the definition of the multi-orientable tensor model. The 1/N expansion and the large N limit of this model are exposed in the second section of the chapter. In the third section, a thorough enumerative combinatorial analysis of the general term of the 1/N expansion is presented. The implementation of the double scaling mechanism is then exhibited in the fourth section. This chapter presents the multi-orientable (MO) tensor model and it follows the review article. This rank three model, having O(N) U(N) O(N) symetry, can be seen as an intermediate step between the U(N) invariant model presented in the previous chapter, and the O(N) invariant model presented in the following chapter. The class of Feynman graph generated by perturbative expansion of MO model is strictly larger than the class of Feynman graphs of the U(N) invariant model and strictly smaller than the one of the O(N) invariant model.

We investigate the relation between rank-three tensor models and the dynamical triangulation model of three-dimensional quantum gravity, and discuss the orientability of the manifold and the corresponding tensor models. We generalize the orientable tensor models to arbitrary dimensions, which include the two-dimensional Hermitian matrix model as a special case.

After briefly presenting (for the physicist) some notions frequently used in combinatorics (such as graphs or combinatorial maps) and after briefly presenting (for the combinatorialist) the main concepts of quantum field theory (QFT), the book shows how algebraic combinatorics can be used to deal with perturbative renormalisation (both in commutative and non-commutative quantum field theory), how analytic combinatorics can be used for QFT issues (again, for both commutative and non-commutative QFT), how Grassmann integrals (frequently used in QFT) can be used to proCve new combinatorial identities (generalizing the Lindström–Gessel–Viennot formula), how combinatorial QFT can bring a new insight on the celebrated Jacobian conjecture (which concerns global invertibility of polynomial systems) and so on. In the second part of the book, matrix models, and tensor models are presented to the reader as QFT models. Several tensor model results (such as the implementation of the large N limit and of the double-scaling limit for various such tensor models, N being here the size of the tensor) are then exposed. These results are natural generalizations of results extensively used by theoretical physicists in the study of matrix models and they are obtained through intensive use of combinatorial techniques (this time mainly enumerative techniques). The last part of the book is dedicated to the recently discovered relation between tensor models and the holographic Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev model, model which has been extensively studied in the last years by condensed matter and by high-energy physicists.

Abstract It is known that matrix models computing the partition functions of three-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 superconformal Chern-Simons theories described by circular quiver diagrams can be written as the partition functions of ideal Fermi gases when all the nodes have equal ranks. We extend this approach to rank deformed theories. The resulting matrix models factorize into factors depending only on the relative ranks in addition to the Fermi gas factors. We find that this factorization plays a critical role in showing the equality of the partition functions of dual theories related by the Hanany-Witten transition. Furthermore, we show that the inverses of the density matrices of the ideal Fermi gases can be simplified and regarded as quantum curves as in the case without rank deformations. We also comment on four nodes theories using our results.

The tag-based recommendation systems that are built based on tensor models commonly suffer from the data sparsity problem. In recent years, various weighted-learning approaches have been proposed to tackle such a problem. The approaches can be categorized by how a weighting scheme is used for exploiting the data sparsity – like employing it to construct a weighted tensor used for weighing the tensor model during the learning process. In this paper, we propose a new weighted-learning approach for exploiting data sparsity in tag-based item recommendation system. We introduce a technique to represent the users’ tag preferences for leveraging the weighted-learning approach. The key idea of the proposed technique comes from the fact that users use different choices of tags to annotate the same item while the same tag may be used to annotate various items in tag-based systems. This points out that users’ tag usage likeliness is different and therefore their tag preferences are also different. We then present three novel weighting schemes that are varied in manners by how the ordinal weighting values are used for labelling the users’ tag preferences. As a result, three weighted tensors are generated based on each scheme. To implement the proposed schemes for generating item recommendations, we develop a novel weighted-learning method called as WRank (Weighted Rank). Our experiments show that considering the users' tag preferences in the tensor-based weightinglearning approach can solve the data sparsity problem as well as improve the quality of recommendation.
