16 Claim: SUSY DW MM = D type IIA at the level of correlation functions under: tr ϕk+ N tr ψk+ N tr ψ k+ N N tr B (R+,R ): (NS,R ): (R+,NS): (NS,NS): where the IIA correlation functions are d z i V i (z i, z i ) = i i d z V k+, + (z) V k, ( z) d z T k (z) V k, ( z) d z V k+, + (z) T k+ ( z) d z T (z) T ( z) d z i V i (z i, z i ) e (ν + ν ) k Z a kω k+ d z V k, V k, + with ω = g, g + = 0 6 N = Liouville

MM in DSL = nonperturbative def. of IIA string SUSY br. order parameter in DSL order parameter: ( N tr B = i ) 4N ωf (recall iqtr ( ψ) = tr B) N tr B = i N tr (ϕ µ ) = d z T (z) T ( z) Nicolai mapping: X = ϕ µ or x i = λ i ( ) µ Z = dbdx e Ntr B +ibx = i ( µ dx i ) (x i x j ) e N i x i i>j
22 if we can ignore effect of boundary, for n N N tr Bn = db Z dx N tr Bn e Ntr ( B +ibx ) = 0 SUSY for all order of /N-expansion i.e. perturbative SUSY of IIA in the RR background (desirable) in DSL: evaluation of boundary effect orthogonal poly. Z = µ i dx i (x) e N i x i
23 orthogonal polynomial: P n (x) = x n + O(x n ), (P n, P m ) dx e µ N x P n (x)p m (x) = h n δ nm xp n (x) = P n+ (x) + s n P n (x) + r n P n (x) N tr (ϕ µ ) = N N k=0 s k without boundary, P n (x) = H n ( Nx) xh n (x) = H n+ (x) + nh n (x) s n = 0 3
24 However, taking account of the boundary, P (x) = x + c, 0 = (P 0, P ) = dx e N x (x + c) = µ = N e N µ4 + ch 0, h 0 = (P 0, P 0 ) = c = N e N µ 4 = s 0 0 h 0 dx e N x x + ch 0 µ µ dx e N x In general, s k = N h n P k ( µ ) e N µ4 nonperturbative effect: exp( NC) makes s n nonvanishing!! boundary effect nonperturbative effect [Gaiotto-Rastelli-Takayanagi 04] survives in DSL? 4

32 Conclusions & Discussions at last we would get nonperturbative formulation of covariant superstring theory with (perturbatively) unbroken target space SUSY! (target sp. interpretation) agreement in fundamental correlation functions cf. KK not in D-brane decay rate [Takayanagi 04] But nonperturbatively, target space SUSY is broken spontaneously without introducing source for it by hand. Even quite difficult in field theory case noncritical (restricted to R = ), nilpotent SUSY SUSY version of Penner model matrix reloaded interpretation: origin of MM: effective aciton on IIA D-particle? (power=winding or momentum large-n reduced model?) origin of breakdown of Seiberg bound? (D-brane?) 9
33 identification of missing states (positive winding tachyon, discrete states, ), more general correlation functions, s = correlation functions, usefulness of orthogonal polynomial with boundary, or Nicolai mapping application of Yang-Mills type? (essentially Gaussian, but taking account of boundaries) SUSY is not for using it, but (may be) for breaking it! 30
34 A Sectors for finite N define the sector with (ν +, ν ) for finite N: decomposition of integration region of eigenvalues: divide the integration region for each λ i : dλ i = 0 dλ i + (ν +, ν )-sector: ν + N eigenvalues integrated over R 0, N Z = NC ν+ NZ (ν+,ν ) ν + N=0 Z (ν+,ν ) = i>j ν + N i= 0 (dλ i λ i ) N j=ν + N+ (λ i λ j ) e N i (λ i µ ) 0 dλ i ν N ones over R 0 0 (dλ j λ j ) flipping sign: λ j λ j Z (ν+,ν ) = ( ) ν N Z (,0) 3
35 Note: Z = 0: corresponding to Witten index (SUSY breaking case) this argument can be applied to correlation func. (confirmed up to 3-pt.): N tr ϕn (ν + + ν ) =, N tr ϕn+ (ν + ν ) simple (ν +, ν )-dep. calculations can be reduced to (, 0)-sector 3
