abstract

We derive simple bootstrap bounds on correlation functions of the BFSS matrix theory/D0-brane quantum mechanics. The result strengthens and extends Polchinski's virial theorem bound to finite energies and gives the first non-trivial bound on $\langle{\text{Tr}\, X^2\rangle}$. Despite their simplicity, the bounds hint at some features of the dual black hole geometry. Our best lower bounds are already a factor of $\sim 2$ from existing Monte Carlo results.

  1. An effective field theory approach to the sign problem in BFSS

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    The Pfaffian phase in BFSS becomes an O(9) pseudoscalar operator in a bosonic matrix integral, requiring 10-loop order in the high-T expansion before the sign problem is detectable in the 't Hooft regime.

  2. On the strong coupling limit of Yang-Mills matrix models

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In mass-deformed Yang–Mills matrix models, strong-coupling commutativity sets in at or above the critical fermion count N_c = 2(D−2), with the supersymmetric models sitting at the critical boundary where huge-operator...

  3. Bootstrapping Yang-Mills matrix integrals

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Bootstrap bounds on ⟨tr XX⟩ and ⟨tr XXXX⟩ in D-matrix Yang-Mills integrals shrink to islands matching Monte Carlo, with large-D trajectories guiding a positivity-free ansatz.

  4. Bootstrapping periodic quantum systems

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A bootstrap method that includes the translation operator and uses reality conditions computes accurate Bloch-band dispersion relations for the cosine potential without positivity constraints.

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Tensor-network DMRG simulations of SU(2) and small-SU(N) bosonic and supersymmetric matrix models give convergent ground states and entanglement measures, with costs that appear to grow polynomially with the number of...
