Matrix model generating function for quantum weighted Hurwitz numbers

Abstract

The KP -function of hypergeometric type serving as generating function for quantum weighted Hurwitz numbers is used to compute the Baker function and the corresponding adapted basis elements, expressed as absolutely convergent Laurent series in the spectral parameter. These are equivalently expressed as Mellin–Barnes integrals, analogously to Meijer G-functions, but with an infinite product of -functions as integral kernel. A matrix model representation is derived for the -function evaluated at trace invariants of an externally coupled matrix.
