Monotone Hurwitz Numbers and the HCIZ Integral
Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal, Volume 21 (2014) no. 1, pp. 71-89.

In this article, we prove that the complex convergence of the HCIZ free energy is equivalent to the non-vanishing of the HCIZ integral in a neighbourhood of z=0. Our approach is based on a combinatorial model for the Maclaurin coefficients of the HCIZ integral together with classical complex-analytic techniques.

Nous démontrons que la convergence de l’énergie libre de l’intégrale HCIZ dans le plan complexe est équivalente à la non-nullité de l’intégrale HCIZ autour de z=0. Notre approche est basée sur un modèle combinatoire pour les coefficients de Maclaurin de l’intégrale HCIZ et sur des méthodes classiques d’analyse complexe.
