abstract

Encouraged by the AdS/CFT correspondence, we study emergent local geometry in large N multi-matrix models from the perspective of a strong coupling expansion. By considering various solvable interacting models we show how the emergence or non-emergence of local geometry at strong coupling is captured by observables that effectively measure the mass of off-diagonal excitations about a semiclassical eigenvalue background. We find emergent geometry at strong coupling in models where a mass term regulates an infrared divergence. We also show that our notion of emergent geometry can be usefully applied to fuzzy spheres. Although most of our results are analytic, we have found numerical input valuable in guiding and checking our results.

(Un)solvable Matrix Models for BPS Correlators

hep-th · 2025-08-27 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Proposes complex matrix models for BPS correlators in N=4 SYM, relating eigenvalue distributions to LLM droplet shapes and enabling computations of one-point functions and three-point correlators via reductions to known models.

On the large N convergence of matrix models

hep-th · 2026-06-05 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

In the semiclassical approximation the eigenvalues of the SU(N) matrix model Hamiltonian converge one-to-one to the eigenvalues of the continuum supermembrane Hamiltonian with central charge as N approaches infinity.

  • Quantum spacetime and quantum fluctuations in the IKKT model at weak coupling hep-th · 2026-05-13 · unverdicted · none · ref 17 · internal anchor

    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.
