We propose that the double scaling behavior of the unitary matrix models, and that of the complex matrix models, is related to type 0B and 0A fermionic string theories. The particular backgrounds involved correspond to $hat c<1 $ matter coupled to super-Liouville theory. We examine in detail the $hat c=0$ or pure supergravity case, which is related to the double scaling limit around the Gross-Witten transition, and find that reversing the sign of the Liouville superpotential interchanges the 0A and 0B theories. We also find smooth transitions between weakly coupled string backgrounds with D-branes, and backgrounds with Ramond-Ramond fluxes only. Finally, we discuss matrix models with multicritical potentials that are conjectured to correspond to 0A/0B string theories based on $(2, 4k)$ super-minimal models.

We consider the propagation of Type I open superstrings on orbifolds with four non-compact dimensions and $N=1$ supersymmetry. In this paper, we concentrate on a non-trivial Z_2xZ_2 example. We show that consistency conditions, arising from tadpole c
ancellation and algebraic sources, require the existence of three sets of Dirichlet 5-branes. We discuss fully the enhancements of the spectrum when these 5-branes intersect. An amusing attribute of these models is the importance of the tree-level (in Type I language) superpotential to the consistent relationship between Higgsing and the motions of 5-branes.
It is proposed that a family of Jackiw-Teitelboim supergravites, recently discussed in connection with matrix models by Stanford and Witten, can be given a complete definition, to all orders in the topological expansion and beyond, in terms of a spec
ific combination of minimal string theories. This construction defines non-perturbative physics for the supergravity that is well-defined and stable. The minimal models come from double-scaled complex matrix models and correspond to the cases $(2Gamma{+}1,2)$ in the Altland-Zirnbauer $(boldsymbol{alpha},boldsymbol{beta})$ classification of random matrix ensembles, where $Gamma$ is a parameter. A central role is played by a non-linear `string equation that naturally incorporates $Gamma$, usually taken to be an integer, counting e.g., D-branes in the minimal models. Here, half-integer $Gamma$ also has an interpretation. In fact, $Gamma{=}{pm}frac12$ yields the cases $(0,2)$ and $(2,2)$ that were shown by Stanford and Witten to have very special properties. These features are manifest in this definition because the relevant solutions of the string equation have special properties for $Gamma{=}{pm}frac12$. Additional special features for other half-integer $Gamma$ suggest new surprises in the supergravity models.
We derive and discuss, at both the classical and the quantum levels, generalized N = 2 supersymmetric quantum mechanical sigma models describing the motion over an arbitrary real or an arbitrary complex manifold with extra torsions. We analyze the re
levant vacuum states to make explicit the fact that their number is not affected by adding the torsion terms.
We investigate the different large $N$ phases of a generalized Gross-Witten-Wadia $U(N)$ matrix model. The deformation mimics the one-loop determinant of fermion matter with a particular coupling to gauge fields. In one version of the model, the GWW
phase transition is smoothed out and it becomes a crossover. In another version, the phase transition occurs along a critical line in the two-dimensional parameter space spanned by the t~Hooft coupling $lambda$ and the Veneziano parameter $tau$. We compute the expectation value of Wilson loops in both phases, showing that the transition is third-order. A calculation of the $beta $ function shows the existence of an IR stable fixed point.
We point out that in some situations it is possible to use matrix model techniques a la Dijkgraaf-Vafa to perturbatively compute D-brane instanton effects. This provides an explanation in terms of stringy instantons of the results in hep-th/0311181.
We check this proposal in some simple scenarios. We point out some interesting consequences of this observation, such as the fact that it gives a perturbative way of computing stringy multi-instanton effects. It also provides a further interpretation of D-brane instantons as residual instantons of higgsed supergroups.
