(A more technical post follows.) By the way, in both sets of talks that I mentioned in the previous post, early on I started talking about orthogonal polynomials , and how they generically satisfy a three-term recurrence relation (or recursion relation): Someone raised their hand and ask why it truncates … Click to continue reading this post →| Asymptotia
Well, that was my title for my seminar last Thursday at the KITP. My plan was to explain more the techniques behind some of the work I've been doing over the last few years, in particular the business of treating multicritical matrix models as building blocks for making more complicated theories of gravity. The seminar ended up being a bit scattered in places as I realised that I had to re-adjust my ambitions to match limitations of time, and so ended up improvising here and there to explain ...| Asymptotia
