Fuzzy Black Holes from Mass Generation in Matrix Compactification
read the original abstract
We investigate a mechanism for generating mass terms in the IKKT and BFSS matrix theories through compactification on a torus and the derivation of a zero-mode effective theory, emphasising the crucial role of fermionic boundary conditions. Extending a recent proposal developed for the IKKT model to the BFSS framework, we explore a broader class of mixed fermionic boundary conditions in both theories. This choice leads to a distinct effective theory with intermediate features, where a mass term is generated together with fermionic zero modes. In the BFSS case, this setup further allows for the construction of black hole solutions. The resulting geometry takes the form of a fuzzy sphere, with quantum excitations in the fermionic sector accounting for the corresponding black hole entropy.

Quantum spacetime and quantum fluctuations in the IKKT model at weak coupling
In the IKKT matrix model, quantum fluctuations are negligible compared to noncommutativity scales at weak coupling for Moyal-Weyl and covariant quantum spacetime backgrounds, justifying semi-classical emergent geometry.
