On Renormalization Group Flow In Matrix Model

Abstract

The renormalization group flow recently found by Br\'ezin and Zinn- Justin by integrating out redundant entries of the (N+1)× (N+1) hermitian random matrix is studied. By introducing explicitly the RG flow parameter, and adding suitable counter terms to the matrix potential of the one matrix model, we deduce some interesting properties of the RG trajectories. In particular, the string equation for the general massive model interpolating between the UV and IR fixed points turns out to be a consequence of RG flow. An ambiguity in the UV regime of the RG trajectory is remarked to be related to the large order behavior of the one matrix model.
