Abstract
The motivation for studying Yang Mills matrix integrals comes from string theory but they present many interesting mathematical problems which can be studied in their own right. I will explain very qualitatively what the string theory connection is. The integrals are essentially a measure, not all of whose moments are finite; I will discuss the convergence properties both for the bosonic case and the supersymmetric one. Lastly I will discuss the properties of the Polyakov line.
