Description
Interpreting the matrices in the IIB matrix model as representing momentum space,
the matrices are described by bilocal fields. Consequently, the IIB matrix model
becomes a pregeometric action describing a system that includes gravity. From
this perspective, we discuss the possibility that the Standard Model emerges as
the effective theory at low energies.
This talk is based on joint work with P.-M. Ho, W. Piensuk, and W.-H. Shao.
