Narrow Results

We describe an integrable model, related to the Gaudin magnet, and its relation to the matrix model of Brézin, Itzykson, Parisi and Zuber. Relation is based on Bethe ansatz for the integrable model and its interpretation using orthogonal polynomials and saddle point approximation. Large-N limit of the matrix model corresponds to the thermodynamic limit of the integrable system. In this limit (functional) Bethe ansatz is the same as the generating function for correlators of the matrix models.

We introduce a new class of exactly solvable boson pairing models using the technique of Richardson and Gaudin. Analytical expressions for all energy eigenvalues and the first few energy eigenstates are given. In addition, another solution to Gaudin's equation is also mentioned. A relation with the Calogero–Sutherland model is suggested.
