abstract

We establish a correspondence between a supersymmetric mass deformation of the IKKT matrix integral at large $N$ and a background of Euclidean type IIB string theory. Both sides have sixteen supersymmetries and an $SO(3)\times SO(7)$ symmetry. In the limit of large mass the integral is dominated by a fuzzy sphere saddle point. This saddle corresponds to a Euclidean $D1$-brane in a finite, Euclidean, ellipsoidal cavity. The cavity is supported by three-form NSNS flux that polarises $N$ $D$-instantons into the $D1$-brane. We furthermore use supersymmetric localisation to show that the deformed matrix integral can be reduced to a moduli space integral, allowing exact results away from the large mass limit. At small mass the $D1$-branes can backreact on the geometry, and we discuss the possible formulation of a `timeless' holography in such regimes.

    In mass-deformed Yang–Mills matrix models, strong-coupling commutativity sets in at or above the critical fermion count N_c = 2(D−2), with the supersymmetric models sitting at the critical boundary where huge-operator...

    The minimal supersymmetric twists of the IKKT and BFSS matrix models are computed in BV-BRST cohomology and matched, in the planar limit, to BCOV-type twisted IIB and IIA supergravity; the non-minimal twists are local...

  5. Fuzzy Black Holes from Mass Generation in Matrix Compactification

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Compactifying BFSS on T^3 with mixed fermion boundary conditions yields a mass-deformed theory whose fuzzy-sphere plus fermion configurations are proposed as Schwarzschild black holes with entropy S∼N.

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The minimal covariant quantum space-time M^{1,3}_0 is shown to be a quantized twistor space, an S2 bundle over a k=-1 FLRW space-time, with localized quasi-coherent states.
