We study the confining/deconfining phase transition in the mass deformed Yang-Mills matrix model which is obtained by the dimensional reduction of the bosonic sector of the four-dimensional maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory compactified on the three sphere, i.e. the bosonic BMN model. The $1/D$ (with $D$ the number of matrices) expansion suggests that the model may have two closely separated transitions. However, using a second order lattice formulation of the model we find that for the small value of the mass parameter, $\mu=2$, those two apparent critical temperatures merge at large $N$, leaving only a single weakly first-order phase transition, in agreement with recent numerical results for $\mu=0$ (the bosonic BFSS model).

    A double-scaling large-d saddle for mass-deformed BFSS/BMN matrix QM interpolates between commutator-dominated and mass-dominated regimes, yielding BFSS_{2}-like low-T uniform-holonomy dynamics and IKKT-like high-T al...

    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).

    Gram/Wishart/Stiefel reformulation of N=2 large-d BFSS/BMN endpoints absorbs -A into a shifted mass and recovers the universal continuum -2d DΛ-channel after non-polynomial transverse completion.
