String tension and string susceptibility in two-dimensional generalized Weingarten model

Abstract

We study the two-dimensional generalized Weingarten model reduced to a point, which interpolates reduced Weingarten model and the large-N gauge theory. We calculate the expectation value of the Wilson loop using Monte-Carlo method and determine the string tension and string susceptibility. The numerical result suggests that the string susceptibility approaches to -2 in a certain parametric region, which implies that the branched-polymer configurations are suppressed.
