Abstract

We consider the Goldstone Hermitian matrix model with a multitrace term. When defining the solution on two intervals, we introduce a special parameter ξ describing the phase. We discuss the phase existence conditions at ξ = 0 (or 1) and at ξ = 1/2. We calculate the propagator and the vacuum energy in the symmetric case ξ = 1/2. In the general case, we discuss the solution structure and calculate the magnetization and other parameters expressed in terms of the sum of all the intervals.
