Random Finite Noncommutative Geometries and Topological Recursion

Abstract

In this paper we investigate a model for quantum gravity on finite noncommutative spaces using the theory of blobbed topological recursion. The model is based on a particular class of random finite real spectral triples ${(\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{H}, D , \gamma , J) \,}$, called random matrix geometries of type ${(1,0) \,}$, with a fixed fermion space ${(\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{H}, \gamma , J) \,}$, and a distribution of the form ${e^{- \mathcal{S} (D)} {\mathop{}\!\mathrm{d}} D}$ over the moduli space of Dirac operators. The action functional ${\mathcal{S} (D)}$ is considered to be a sum of terms of the form ${\prod_{i=1}^s \mathrm{Tr} \left( {D^{n_i}} \right)}$ for arbitrary ${s \geqslant 1 \,}$. The Schwinger-Dyson equations satisfied by the connected correlators ${W_n}$ of the corresponding multi-trace formal 1-Hermitian matrix model are derived by a differential geometric approach. It is shown that the coefficients ${W_{g,n}}$ of the large $N$ expansion of ${W_n}$'s enumerate discrete surfaces, called stuffed maps, whose building blocks are of particular topologies. The spectral curve ${\left( {\Sigma , \omega_{0,1} , \omega_{0,2}} \right)}$ of the model is investigated in detail. In particular, we derive an explicit expression for the fundamental symmetric bidifferential ${\omega_{0,2}}$ in terms of the formal parameters of the model.
