Title: Topological order in matrix Ising models

Abstract

We study a family of models for an N_1 \times N_2 $N_{1} \times N_{2}$ matrix worth of Ising spins S_{aB} $S_{a B}$ . In the large N_i $N_{i}$ limit we show that the spins soften, so that the partition function is described by a bosonic matrix integral with a single ‘spherical’ constraint. In this way we generalize the results of to a wide class of Ising Hamiltonians with O(N_1,\mathbb{Z})\times O(N_2,\mathbb{Z}) $O (N_{1}, ℤ) \times O (N_{2}, ℤ)$ symmetry. The models can undergo topological large N $N$ phase transitions in which the thermal expectation value of the distribution of singular values of the matrix S_{aB} $S_{a B}$ becomes disconnected. This topological transition competes with low temperature glassy and magnetically ordered phases.
