Abstract

We prove the topological expansion for the cubic log-gas partition function, with a complex parameter and defined on an unbounded contour on the complex plane. The complex cubic log-gas model exhibits two phase regions on the complex t-plane, with one cut and two cuts, separated by analytic critical arcs of the two types of phase transition: split of a cut and birth of a cut. The common point of the critical arcs is a tricritical point of the Painleve I type. In the present paper we prove the topological expansion for the partition function in the one-cut phase region. The proof is based on the Riemann-Hilbert approach to semiclassical asymptotic expansions for the associated orthogonal polynomials and the theory of S-curves and quadratic differentials.
