We discuss the space of solutions to the Ward identities associated with the WLZZ models. We mostly concentrate on the case of these models described by a two-matrix model with the cubic potential in one of the matrices. We study how this space of solutions can be described by the freedom in choosing integration contours in the matrix integral.
Character expansions are among the most important approaches to modern quantum field theory, which substitute integrals by combinations of peculiar special functions from the Schur-Macdonald family. These formulas allow various deformations, which are not transparent in integral formulation. We analyze from this point of view the Itzykson-Zuber integral over unitary matrices which is exactly solvable, but difficult to deform in $\beta$ and $(q,t)$ directions. Character expansion straightforwardly resolves this problem. However, taking averages with the so defined measure can look problematic, because integrals of individual expansion terms often diverge and well defined is only the sum of them. We explain a way to overcome this problem by Gaussian regularization, which can have a broad range of further applications.
Recently, we performed a two $\beta$-ensemble realization of the series of $\beta$-deformed WLZZ matrix models involving $\beta$-deformed Harish-Chandra-Itzykson-Zuber integrals. The realization was derived and studied by using Ward identities, which do not allow one to fix integration contours, these latter were chosen to be real axis for one $\beta$-ensemble and imaginary axis for the other one basing on some particular checks. Here, we evaluate the $\beta$-ensemble integrals directly using a conjecture by I.G. Macdonald, and explain that another choice of integration contours is also possible.
We consider a two $\beta$-ensemble realization of the series of $\beta$-deformed WLZZ matrix models. We demonstrate that such a realization involves $\beta$-deformed Harish-Chandra-Itzykson-Zuber integrals, one of them providing a coupling to the external field. We also construct Ward identities in the corresponding two $\beta$-ensemble model, which requires a set of identities for partition function of the one $\beta$-ensemble in the external field, and a set of identities for the $\beta$-deformed Itzykson-Zuber integral. These both sets of identities are formulated in terms of the Dunkl operators.
This paper is devoted to the phenomenon of superintegrability. This phenomenon is manifested in the existence of a formula for character averages, expressed through the same characters at special points and of its various generalization. In this paper we develop a method of proving such formulas from first principle from Virasoro constraints and $W$-representation. We apply it to prove the formula for the Jack functions averages - appropriate analogue of characters for the $β$-deformed Hermitian Gaussian matrix model. We also sketch the construction of $W$-operators from Calogero-Ruijsenaars Hamiltonians.
