RT Journal Article T1 On the singular sector of the Hermitian random matrix model in the large N limit A1 Konopelchenko, Boris A1 Martínez Alonso, Luis A1 Medina Reus, Elena AB The one-cut case of the Hermitian random matrix model in the large N limit is considered. Its singular sector in the space of coupling constants is analyzed from the point of view of the hodograph equations of the underlying dispersionless Toda hierarchy. A deep connection with the singular sector of the hodograph equations of the 1-layer Benney (classical long wave equation) hierarchy is stablished. This property is a consequence of the fact that the hodograph equations for both hierarchies describe the critical points of solutions of Euler- Poisson-Darboux equations.
