Permutation invariant matrix quantum thermodynamics and negative specific heat capacities in large N systems
read the original abstract
We study the thermodynamic properties of the simplest gauged permutation invariant matrix quantum mechanical system of oscillators, for general matrix size $N$. In the canonical ensemble, the model has a transition at a temperature $T$ given by $x = e^{ -1/ T } \sim x_c=e^{-1/T_c}=\frac{\log N}{N}$, characterised by a sharp peak in the specific heat capacity (SHC), which separates a high temperature from a low temperature region. The peak grows and the low-temperature region shrinks to zero with increasing $N$. In the micro-canonical ensemble, for finite $N$, there is a low energy phase with negative SHC and a high energy phase with positive SHC. The low-energy phase is dominated by a super-exponential growth of degeneracies as a function of energy which is directly related to the rapid growth in the number of directed graphs, with any number of vertices, as a function of the number of edges. The two ensembles have matching behaviour above the transition temperature. We further provide evidence that these thermodynamic properties hold in systems with $U(N)$ symmetry such as the zero charge sector of the 2-matrix model and in certain tensor models. We discuss the implications of these observations for the negative specific heat capacities in gravity using the AdS/CFT correspondence.

A Double--Scaling Large--\(d\) Saddle of BFSS/BMN Matrix Quantum Mechanics
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...

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.

Molien--Weyl Singlet Counting and BFSS$_2$--Factorization in Gaussian Matrix QM
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 formulation of the $N=2$, large--$d$ gauge theory in 1D
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.
