We consider Gaussian random matrix models in the presence of a deterministic matrix source. In such models the correlation functions are known exactly for an arbitrary source and for any size of the matrices. The freedom given by the external source allows for various tunings to different classes of universality. The main interest is to use this freedom to compute various topological invariants for surfaces such as the intersection numbers for curves drawn on a surface of given genus with marked points, Euler characteristics, and the Gromov?Witten invariants. A remarkable duality for the average of characteristic polynomials is essential for obtaining such topological invariants. The analysis is extended to nonorientable surfaces and to surfaces with boundaries. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Mathematical Physics,$x2197-1757 ;$v19 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aStatistical physics 606 $aTopological groups 606 $aLie groups 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aDynamics 606 $aMathematical Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M35000 606 $aStatistical Physics and Dynamical Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19090 606 $aTopological Groups, Lie Groups$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11132 606 $aParticle and Nuclear Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23002 606 $aComplex Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aStatistical physics. 615 0$aTopological groups. 615 0$aLie groups. 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aDynamics. 615 14$aMathematical Physics. 615 24$aStatistical Physics and Dynamical Systems. 615 24$aTopological Groups, Lie Groups. 615 24$aParticle and Nuclear Physics. 615 24$aComplex Systems. 676 $a512.9434 700 $aBre?zin$b E.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$053516 702 $aHikami$b Shinobu$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163096303321 996 $aRandom Matrix Theory with an External Source$92070238 997 $aUNINA
