One-dimensional search-space conjecture for the generalized three-color matrix model

Consider the generalized three-color matrix model referred to in the source, with coupling constant gg. Let m2m_2 denote its second moment, and consider the large-NN limit of all moments. The search-space dimension is the number of independent quantities needed to express all such moments.

One-dimensional search-space conjecture. The matrix model has search-space dimension one: all moments in the large-NN limit can be written in terms of the coupling constant gg and m2m_2.

The conjecture is based on algebraic solutions of the Schwinger–Dyson equations yielding relations among the moments. If true, the model would be essentially solved because an explicit expression for m2m_2 is available. The supplied text gives no resolution.
