We present a new model of quantum gravity as a theory of random geometries given explicitly in terms of a multitrace matrix model. This is a generalization of the usual discretized random surfaces of two-dimensional quantum gravity which works away from two dimensions and captures a large class of spaces admitting a finite spectral triple. These multitrace matrix models sustain emergent geometry as well as growing dimensions and topology change.

We present a study of D = 4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills matrix models with SO(3) mass terms based on the Monte Carlo method. In the bosonic models we show the existence of an exotic first-/second-order transition from a phase with a well defined background geometry (the fuzzy sphere) to a phase with commuting matrices with no geometry in the sense of Connes. At the transition point the sphere expands abruptly to infinite size then it evaporates as we increase the temperature (the gauge coupling constant). The transition looks first-order due to the discontinuity in the action whereas it looks second-order due to the divergent peak in the specific heat. The fuzzy sphere is stable for the supersymmetric models in the sense that the bosonic phase transition is turned into a very slow crossover transition. The transition point is found to scale to zero with N. We conjecture that the transition from the background sphere to the phase of commuting matrices is associated with spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. The eigenvalues distribution of any of the bosonic matrices in the matrix phase is found to be given by a nonpolynomial law obtained from the fact that the joint probability distribution of the four matrices is uniform inside a solid ball with radius R. The eigenvalues of the gauge field on the background geometry are also found to be distributed according to this nonpolynomial law.

Abstract We study ћ expansion of the KP hierarchy following Takasaki-Takebe [1] considering several examples of matrix model τ-functions with natural genus expansion. Among the examples there are solutions of KP equations of special interest, such as generating function for simple Hurwitz numbers, Hermitian matrix model, Kontsevich model and Brezin-Gross-Witten model. We show that all these models with parameter ћ are τ-functions of the ћ-KP hierarchy and the expansion in ћ for the ћ-KP coincides with the genus expansion for these models. Furthermore, we show a connection of recent papers considering the ћ-formulation of the KP hierarchy [2, 3] with original Takasaki-Takebe approach. We find that in this approach the recovery of enumerative geometric meaning of τ-functions is straightforward and algorithmic.
