This thesis is interested in the topological recursion first introduced in \cite{CEO} and generalized to algebraic curves in \cite{Eynard:2007,Eynard:2008}. A presentation of the Hermitian matrix model is given and includes a derivation of this topological recursion. The second part introduces a...

The first part of this thesis presents an exposition of some of the links between integrability, matrix models and Airy structures. We first introduce the notion of an integrable hierarchy and a tau function. We then probe tau functions further by considering matrix integrals. These are...
