Random normal matrices and polynomial curves

In the large matrix limit, the eigenvalues of the random matrices for a somewhat special chosen potential will uniformly fill the interior domain of a polynomial curve determined by its harmonic moments which enter the potential as coefficients. Furthermore, the dispersionless Toda hierarchy fulfilled by polynomial curves may be recovered as limit of the Toda hierarchy corresponding to the orthogonal polynomials of the matrix model.
