Euclidean scalar field φ A (noncommutative algebra) A often has finite-dimensional approximations Raimar Wulkenhaar (Münster) Matricial quantum field theory: renormalisation, integrability & positivity 3

12 The Kontsevich model defined by partition function ( dφ exp Tr ( EΦ 2 + i 6 Φ3)) Z(E) := ( dφ exp Tr ( EΦ 2)) Asymptotic expansion in coupling constant i 6 gives rational function of eigenvalues e i of E. This rational function generates the intersection numbers. Related to Hermitean one-matrix model Z(E)[[t n ]] = DM exp( N t n tr(m n )) n where t n := (2n )!!tr(e (2n ) ) Large-N limit gives KdV evolution equation. Exact solution related to Virasoro algebra.
