We consider the simplest gauge theories given by one- and two-matrix
integrals and concentrate on their stringy and geometric properties. We
recall the general integrable structure behind the matrix integrals and turn
to the geometric properties of planar matrix models, demonstrating that they
are universally described in terms of integrable systems directly related to
the theory of complex curves. We study the main ingredients of this geometric
picture, suggesting that it can be generalized beyond one complex dimension,
and formulate them in terms of semiclassical integrable systems solved by
constructing tau functions or prepotentials. We discuss the complex curves
and tau functions of one- and two-matrix models in detail.
Keywords:
string theory, matrix models, complex geometry.
