Abstract: We prove that the 2-hermitean matrix model and the complex-matrix
model obey the same loop equations, and as a byproduct, we find a
formula for Itzykson-Zuber's type integrals over the unitary group.
Integrals over $U(n)$ are rewritten as gaussian integrals over
triangular matrices and then computed explicitly.
That formula is an efficient alternative to the former Shatashvili's
formula.
