The fact that Kontsevich’s model is dual of a Gaussian model makes it easy to compute the intersection numbers. Duality and replicas If Λ is a multiple of the identity Λ = λ×1, the coefficients of 1/λ in the expansion of log Z are proportional to the inter- section numbers of the moduli of curves with one marked point on a Riemann surface of genus g. To recover these numbers one can use replicas, i.e. the simple relation lim

Generalizations : ”spin curves” It is clear that can obtain results for curves with several marked points by the same technique (although it is difficult to go beyong low genera). One can also ”tune” the external source to obtain a gener- alized Kontsevich model. For instance if the source matrix A has N/2 eigenvalues equal to +1, and N/2 equal to −1 in the large N appropriate scaling limit <

This case is nothing but the critical gap closing situation.
Again an appropriate tuning of the source matrix can yield the p-th generalization of Kontsevich’s Airy matrix-model, a model introduced by Marshakov et al. defined by Z = 1 Z0

where j = 0 for g = 3m + 1 and j = 1 for g = 3m. (For g = 3m + 2, the intersection numbers are zero). Witten conjecture : the free energy which generates inter- section numbers for spin curves satisfies a Gelfand-Dikii hi- erarchy and indeed this is true for the correlators U(s1, · · · , sK) providing thereby an alternative definition.

Intersection numbers for non-orientable surfaces There is no equvalent of the Itzykson-Zuber for real sym- metric matrices which generate non-orientable surfaces. How- ever the HarishChandra formula applies to Lie algebras such as o(N) (or sp(N)) which also produce non-orientable sur-
lation functions and duality.
Consider the Lie algebra of o(2N), namely real antisymmet- ric matrices. For given real antisymmetric matrices X and Λ the HarishChandra localization formula, for the integral
