abstract
The space of invariants for a single matrix is generated by traces containing at most $N$ matrices per trace. We extend this analysis to multi-matrix models at finite $N$. Using the Molien-Weyl formula, we compute partition functions for various multi-matrix models at different $N$ and interpret them through trace relations. This allows us to identify a complete set of invariants, naturally divided into two distinct classes: primary and secondary. The full invariant ring of the multi-matrix model is reconstructed via the Hironaka decomposition, where primary invariants act freely, while secondary invariants satisfy quadratic relations. Significantly, while traces with at most $N$ matrices are always present, we also find invariants involving more than $N$ matrices per trace. The primary invariants correspond to perturbative degrees of freedom, whereas the secondary invariants emerge as non-trivial background structures. The growth of secondary invariants aligns with expectations from black hole entropy, suggesting deep structural connections to gravitational systems.

Overcrowding and the Finite-$N$ Hilbert Space
For d Hermitian N x N matrices, any all-single-trace choice of primary coordinates must miss a trace direction by degree 2 log_d N + log_d log_d N + O(1), parametrically below the first trace identity.

Finite-$N$ Operator Algebras and the Hilbert Space of Bilocal Holography
The finite-N singlet Hilbert space of bilocal holography is a single irreducible representation of an invariant dual-pair master algebra, so finite-N trace relations become representation-theoretic identities.

Negative heat capacities in spherically symmetric sectors of $d$-matrix quantum mechanics
SO(d) and O(d) invariant sectors of d-matrix QM show negative microcanonical heat capacity that becomes positive at k_crit ~ N^2/4, forming a caloric fold similar to AdS black holes.

New phases in QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential
In the Veneziano large-N_c limit, QCD at finite baryon chemical potential has two partially deconfined phases (PD-1, PD-2) and two confined phases (CC-1, CC-2), separated by a Gross-Witten-Wadia transition that can be...

Bosonic Fortuity in Vector Models
For U(N) vector models, primary invariants number f^2 for f≤N and N^2+2N(f−N) for f>N, with secondary invariants appearing and growing as e^{2N log 2 f}.
