We study the connection between characteristics of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with marked points and matrix models. The Kontsevich matrix model describes intersection indices on continuous moduli spaces, and the Kontsevich–Penner matrix model describes intersection indices on discretized moduli spaces. Analyzing the constraint algebras satisfied by various generalized Kontsevich matrix models, we derive time transformations that establish exact relations between different models appearing in mathematical physics. We solve the Hermitian one-matrix model using the moment technique in the genus expansion and construct a recursive procedure for solving this model in the double scaling limit.
