We point out two extensions of the relation between matrix models, topological strings and N =1 supersymmetric gauge theories. First, we note that by considering double scaling limits of unitary matrix models one can obtain large-N duals of the local Calabi–Yau geometries that engineer N =2 gauge theories. In particular, a double scaling limit of the Gross–Witten one-plaquette lattice model gives the SU(2) Seiberg–Witten solution, including its induced gravitational corrections. Secondly, we point out that the effective superpotential terms for N =1 ADE quiver gauge theories is similarly computed by large-N multi-matrix models, that have been considered in the context of ADE minimal models on random surfaces. The associated spectral curves are multiple branched covers obtained as Virasoro and W-constraints of the partition function.
