I discuss D0-brane quantum mechanics as a nonperturbative formulation of string theory, in particular the relation between the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind matrix model, the Maldacena conjecture for D0-branes, and type IIA/M-theory duality. Some features of the quantum mechanics of D0-branes are also discussed. Lecture presented at the Nishinomiya-Yukawa Memorial Symposium, Nov. 1998.

  1. 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...

  2. The black hole S-matrix in gauge/gravity duality

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A unitary black hole S-matrix is built in AdS/CFT via collapsing brane shells; the black hole decays by exponentially rare brane emission, and the emitted branes are argued to be the original constituents, resolving t...

  3. Instanton condensation and a new phase of BPS black holes

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Instanton condensation in the matrix model for the BPS index reveals a new instability and dominant phase for small black holes, connected to partial deconfinement.

  4. A Matrix Theory Construction of the IIA/IIB Wall

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A lightlike IIA/IIB domain wall is constructed at zero string coupling by gauging (−1)^{F_L} in matrix string theory, turning BPS IIA D0-branes into non-BPS IIB D0-branes.

  5. Twisting BFSS & IKKT

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The minimal supersymmetric twists of the IKKT and BFSS matrix models are computed in BV-BRST cohomology and matched, in the planar limit, to BCOV-type twisted IIB and IIA supergravity; the non-minimal twists are local...

  6. A Soft Theorem from vertex-like operators in BFSS Theory

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the large-distance effective theory of BFSS, graviton-like vertex operators are shown to have correlators that factorize in the soft limit at leading and subleading order, matching the predicted BFSS soft theorem.

  7. On the Underlying Nonrelativistic Nature of Relativistic Holography

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Standard AdS/CFT duality is reinterpreted as D-brane/black-brane duality in nonrelativistic D3-brane theory, with AdS5×S5 as a relativistic bubble in flat 3-Newton-Cartan geometry.
