abstract

We construct the black hole geometry dual to the deconfined phase of the BMN matrix model at strong 't Hooft coupling. We approach this solution from the limit of large temperature where it is approximately that of the non-extremal D0-brane geometry with a spherical $S^8$ horizon. This geometry preserves the $SO(9)$ symmetry of the matrix model trivial vacuum. As the temperature decreases the horizon becomes deformed and breaks the $SO(9)$ to the $SO(6)\times SO(3)$ symmetry of the matrix model. When the black hole free energy crosses zero the system undergoes a phase transition to the confined phase described by a Lin-Maldacena geometry. We determine this critical temperature, whose computation is also within reach of Monte Carlo simulations of the matrix model.

Finite-$N$ BMN index across all vacuum sectors

hep-th · 2026-05-25 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Finite-N BMN index summed over all vacuum sectors for N≤9 reveals order-N² entropy growth that survives the sum and dominance switching from single- to double-partition sectors starting at N=5.

BPS Non-Renormalization in the BMN Matrix Model

hep-th · 2026-06-03 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Conjugation deformations preserve normalizability in the BMN matrix model, implying BPS states do not lift and their unsigned number is invariant except at the free and BFSS points.
