The Super Virasoro Minimal String from 3d Supergravity

hep-th · 2026-04-28 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

The super Virasoro minimal string arises from quantizing 3d supergravity, with 0A+ and 0B+ dual to the bosonic minimal string matrix integral, 0B- to one with inverse square root singularity, and 0A- having vanishing non-trivial perturbative amplitudes.

Fate of "Space-like singularities" in $c=1$ Matrix Model

hep-th · 2026-06-30 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Space-like singularities in the c=1 matrix model are artifacts of the double scaling limit; beyond it, Fermi surface folds proliferate and the coarse-grained phase space density relaxes to equilibrium via a universal power-law independent of initial state details.

Bootstrapping Euclidean Two-point Correlators

hep-th · 2025-11-11 · conditional · novelty 7.0

A bootstrap SDP with a dual 'inequalities of motion' formulation rigorously bounds Euclidean two-point correlators and extracts the low-lying adjoint spectrum of one-matrix quantum mechanics.

$c=1$ strings as a matrix integral

hep-th · 2026-04-07 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The perturbative c=1 string S-matrix equals a double-scaled matrix integral on the spectral curve x=2√2 cos(z), y=sin(z), establishing a worldsheet–MQM–matrix-integral triality.

Sine-Liouville gravity as a Vertex Model on Planar Graphs

hep-th · 2025-12-21 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The seven-vertex matrix model realizes sine-Liouville gravity through a shared classical spectral curve with matrix quantum mechanics but distinct branes, with dilute-dense flow analogous to a gravitational massless sine-Gordon flow.
