This article investigates the intersection numbers of the moduli space ofp-spin curves with the help of matrix models. The explicit integral representations that are derived for the generating functions of these intersection numbers exhibitpStokes domains, labelled by a “spin”-componentltaking values. Earlier studies concerned integer values ofp, but the present formalism allows one to extend our study to half-integer or negative values ofp, which turn out to describe new types of punctures or marked points on the Riemann surface. They fall into two classes: Ramond, absent for positive integerp, and Neveu–Schwarz. The intersection numbers of both types are computed from the integral representation of then-point correlation functions in a largeNscaling limit. We also consider a supersymmetric extension of the random matrix formalism to show that it leads naturally to an additional logarithmic potential. Open boundaries on the surface, or admixtures of R and NS punctures, may be handled by this extension.
