Abstract

In this note we compare planar correlators such as \( {{\left\langle {\prod\nolimits_i^n {\mathrm{Tr}{M^{{2{k_i}}}}} } \right\rangle}_{\mathrm{conn}}} \) in the Gaussian matrix model with corresponding genus zero correlators of the A-model topological string theory on \( {{\mathbb{P}}^1} \). We find a simple relation between them which provides additional evidence for the duality between the two theories, as proposed in [1].
