This approach is based on considering a perturbative expansion of the kinetic term in the partition function. After truncating this expansion at second order, one arrives at a multitrace matrix model, which allows for an application of the saddle-point method. The results are in agreement with the numerical findings in the literature.8 pages, talk given by CS at the International Workshop "Supersymmetries and Quantum Symmetries" (SQS'07), Dubna, July 30 - August 4 2007; to appear in the proceedingsHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
