We study a configuration of a parallel F- (fundamental) and D-string in IIB string theory by considering its T-dual configuration in the matrix model description of M-theory. We show that certain nonperturbative features of string theory such as O(e-1/gs) effects due to soliton loops, the existence of bound state (1,1) strings and manifest S-duality, can be seen in matrix models. We discuss certain subtleties that arise in the large-N limit when membranes are wrapped around compact dimensions.

Area Law

We study the question whether matrix models obtained in the zero volume limit of 4d Yang–Mills theories can describe large N QCD strings. The matrix model we use is a variant of the Eguchi–Kawai model in terms of Hermitian matrices, but without any twists or quenching. This model was originally proposed as a toy model of the IIB matrix model. In contrast to common expectations, we do observe the area law for Wilson loops in a significant range of scale of the loop area. Numerical simulations show that this range is stable as N increases up to 768, which strongly suggests that it persists in the large N limit. Hence the equivalence to QCD strings may hold for length scales inside a finite regime.

Effective Description

A review of the appearance of integrable structures in the matrix model description of 2D gravity is presented. Most of the ideas are demonstrated with technically simple but ideologically important examples. Matrix models are considered as a sort of “effective” description of continuum 2D field theory formulation. The main physical role in such a description is played by the Virasoro-W conditions, which can be interpreted as certain unitarity or factorization constraints. Both discrete and continuum (generalized Kontsevich) models are formulated as the solutions to those discrete (continuous) Virasoro-W constraints. Their integrability properties are proved, using mostly the determinant technique highly related to the representation in terms of free fields. The paper also contains some new observations connected with formulation of more-general-than-GKM solutions and deeper understanding of their relation to 2D gravity.

We discuss some properties of a supersymmetric matrix model that is the dimensional reduction of supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory in 10 dimensions and which has been recently argued to represent the short-distance structure of M-theory in the infinite momentum frame. We describe a reduced version of the matrix quantum mechanics and derive the Nicolai map of the simplified supersymmetric matrix model. We use this to argue that there are no phase transitions in the large-N limit, and hence that S-duality is preserved in the full 11-dimensional theory.

We describe an integrable model, related to the Gaudin magnet, and its relation to the matrix model of Brézin, Itzykson, Parisi and Zuber. Relation is based on Bethe ansatz for the integrable model and its interpretation using orthogonal polynomials and saddle point approximation. Large-N limit of the matrix model corresponds to the thermodynamic limit of the integrable system. In this limit (functional) Bethe ansatz is the same as the generating function for correlators of the matrix models.

We study the time-dependent dynamics of a collection of N collapsing/expanding D0-branes in type IIA string theory. We show that the fuzzy-S3 and S5 provide time-dependent solutions to the matrix model of D0-branes and its DBI generalisation. Some intriguing cancellations in the calculation of the non-Abelian DBI matrix actions result in the fuzzy-S3 and S5 having the same dynamics at large-N. For the matrix model, we find analytic solutions describing the time-dependent radius, in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. Investigation of the physical properties of these configurations shows that there are no bounces for the trajectory of the collapse at large-N. We also write down a set of useful identities for fuzzy-S3, fuzzy-S5 and general fuzzy odd-spheres.

Remarkable Agreement

Abstract In a recent paper, Balthazar, Rodriguez and Yin found remarkable agreement between the one instanton contribution to the scattering amplitudes of two dimensional string theory and those in the matrix model to the first subleading order. The comparison was carried out numerically by analytically continuing the external energies to imaginary values, since for real energies the string theory result diverges. We use insights from string field theory to give finite expressions for the string theory amplitudes for real energies. We also show analytically that the imaginary parts of the string theory amplitudes computed this way reproduce the full matrix model results for general scattering amplitudes involving multiple closed strings.

We investigate a zero-dimensional Hermitian one-matrix model in a triple-well potential. Its tree-level phase structure is analyzed semiclassically as well as in the framework of orthogonal polynomials. Some multiple-arc eigenvalue distributions in the first method correspond to quasiperiodic large-N behavior of recursion coefficients for the second. We further establish this connection between the two approaches by finding three-arc saddle points from orthogonal polynomials. The latter require a modification for nondegenerate potential minima; we propose weighing the average over potential wells.

Induced Measure

We calculate an effective action and measure induced by the integration over the auxiliary field in the matrix model recently proposed to describe IIB superstrings. It is shown that the measure of integration over the auxiliary matrix is uniquely determined by locality and reparametrization invariance of the resulting effective action. The large-N limit of the induced measure for string coordinates is discussed in detail. It is found to be ultralocal and, thus, is possibly irrelevant in the continuum limit. The model of the GKM type is considered in relation to the effective action problem.

String Worldsheet

We use the matrix formalism to investigate what happens to strings above the Hagedorn temperature. We show that is not a limiting temperature but a temperature at which the continuum string picture breaks down. We study a collection of N D-0-branes arranged to form a string having N units of light-cone momentum. We find that at high temperatures the favored phase is one where the string worldsheet has disappeared and the low-energy degrees of freedom consists of N2 massless particles ("gluons"). The nature of the transition is very similar to the deconfinement transition in large-N Yang–Mills theories.
