On the geometry of matrix models for N=1*

We investigate the geometry of the matrix model associated with an N = 1 super Yang-Mills theory with three adjoint fields, which is a massive deformation of N = 4. We study in particular the Riemann surface underlying solutions with arbitrary number of cuts. We show that an interesting geometrical structure emerges where the Riemann surface is related on-shell to the Donagi-Witten spectral curve. We explicitly identify the quantum field theory resolvents in terms of geometrical data on the surface.
