Overview
Matrix models are excellent frameworks for non-perturbative formulation of string theory and M-theory and expected to play an essential role in understanding the holographic principle. This workshop focuses on such matrix models, especially on the BFSS, IKKT and BMN matrix models, and also on other related topics regarding recent developments in understanding of holography and numerical methods. The topics include
- Revisit to the holography from modern perspectives
- Application of numerical methods (Monte Carlo methods, bootstrapping, quantum simulation, ...)
- Black holes realized in finite-temperature matrix models
- Other low-dimensional theory and its holography (JT gravity and SYK model, ...)
This workshop is organized in the spirit of "Matrix Quantum Mechanics for M-theory Revisited" (CERN, January 8–12, 2024).
