We discuss the Penner type matrix model recently proposed by Dijkgraaf and Vafa for a possible explanation of the relation between four-dimensional gauge theory and Liouville theory by making use of the connection of the matrix model to two-dimensional CFT. We first consider the relation of gauge couplings defined in UV and IR regimes of Nf = 4, $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory being related as qUV = ϑ2(qIR)4/ϑ3(qIR)4. We then use this relation to discuss the action of modular transformation on the matrix model and determine its spectral curve.We also discuss the decoupling of massive flavors from the Nf = 4 matrix model and derive matrix models describing asymptotically free $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 gauge theories. We find that the Penner type matrix theory reproduces correctly the standard results of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories.
