Abstract:
We try to develop a collective field theory of single matrix models by using
the formalism of Jevicki and Sakita in [1], with Schur polynomials as our
collective fields. Field operators and the relation for the change of variables
required to obtain the collective field Hamiltonian are found using group
representation theory.
