abstract
We explain how the string spectrum in flat space and pp-waves arises from the large $N$ limit, at fixed $g^2_{YM}$, of U(N) ${\cal N} =4$ super Yang Mills. We reproduce the spectrum by summing a subset of the planar Feynman diagrams. We give a heuristic argument for why we can neglect other diagrams. We also discuss some other aspects of pp-waves and we present a matrix model associated to the DLCQ description of the maximally supersymmetric eleven dimensional pp-waves.

Enumerates 244 fortuitous operators in ABJM theory and identifies a truncation matching the BMN subsector of N=4 SYM to lift an infinite tower of representatives.
Scalar quasinormal modes on pp-wave spacetimes show zero-temperature dissipation for d >= 3 via an irregular singular point acting as absorber, with exact non-dissipative spectrum for d=2 and gapped modes proven by reduction to Bessel equation.
Holographic Krylov complexity for charged composite and extended probes retains universal leading large-time growth but acquires structure-dependent subleading corrections.
A Groenewold-Moyal twist deforms an integrable sl(2) spin-chain whose spectrum is computed perturbatively via the Baxter equation and matched at order J^{-3} to a non-local charge of a deformed BMN string in AdS.
For generic Z_L orbifolds, naive reduction of the 10d (α')^3 correction fails to match localisation results for twisted half-BPS correlators except at special L values; expanding a twisted Virasoro-Shapiro amplitude recovers the correct coefficients by accounting for twisted sector resonances.
Inner horizon saddles supply the semiclassical correction -exp(A_inner/4G) to near-extremal black-hole entropy and motivate a spectral KSW criterion for well-defined one-loop effects around complex gravitational saddles.
Non-planar corrections lift degeneracies in the spectrum of quarter BPS states in Sym^N(T^4) and introduce level repulsion plus random matrix statistics, showing integrability is restricted to the large N planar limit.
The very-low-temperature bosonic singlet spectrum in BFSS_{d+1} is controlled by d(d+1)/2 quadratic Gram operators Tr(X_a X_b), with an exact BFSS_3 = (BFSS_2)^3 factorization at (d,N)=(2,2).

A simplified mini-BMN matrix model for a radiating black hole exhibits early-time chaotic growth of Krylov complexity followed by late-time saturation to a plateau consistent with equilibration.
Holographic probe-brane calculations produce defect one- and two-point functions of heavy scalars that match OPE and BOE limits.
Holographic minimal-surface calculation maps the Gross-Ooguri phase transition for circular Wilson loops on the Coulomb branch and indicates tree-level exactness for the straight line.
Complex Langevin simulations of the deformed Lorentzian type IIB matrix model show emergence of smooth (3+1)-dimensional expanding spacetime with real space and time.
Uni-vector deformations in Type IIA map D0 backgrounds to themselves and generate F1-D0 and D2-D0 bound states while relating to DLCQ of M-theory.
