1 hermodynamics of the BMN matrix model at strong coupling Miguel S. Costa Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto Work with L. Greenspan, J. Penedones and J. Santos Correlations, criticality, and coherence in quantum systems Évora - October 04

2 Motivation Gauge/gravity duality as definition of quantum gravity in AdS Dual CF is renormalizable and unitary. Problem: how to decode the hologram? Unfortunately field theory is strongly coupled in region of interest for quantum gravity (classical gravity N!, /N expansion loop expansion). Would like examples where computations in both sides are within reach est and understand the gauge/gravity duality with observables that are not protected by SUSY and can not be computed using integrability. How does gravitation phenomena, like black holes, emerge from gauge theory side? Idea: Study thermodynamics of black holes dual to Matrix Quantum Mechanics that can be simulated on a computer using Monte-Carlo methods.

3 he case of D0-branes Closed strings interact with D0-branes in flat space D0-brane Closed string Open string, Closed strings interact with geometry produced by D0-branes Closed string D0-brane geometry [Itzhaki, Maldacena, Sonnenschein, Yankielowicz 98]

Dimensionless mean energy N = E N /3 [Catterall, Wiseman 07, 08, 09; Anagnostopoulos et al 07; Hanada et al 08, 3]

10 oday s talk is not about D0-brane matrix model Caveat: canonical ensemble ill defined - IR divergences from flat directions in D0-brane moduli space. his is suppressed at large N (metastable state), but it is a source of tension in Monte Carlo simulations [Catterall, Wiseman 09] F (,r) N F finite ( )+ 9 N ln r Instability corresponds to Hawking radiation of D0-branes. At large N this is suppressed and black hole is stable (positive specific heat). oday s talk is about BMN matrix model [Berenstein, Maldacena, Nastase 0] Mass deformation resolves IR divergence - canonical ensemble well defined. Much richer thermodynamics with a st order phase transition (at large N there are two dimensionless parameters).

What are the minimal ingredients of a quantum mechanical system such that it gives rise to classical gravity in the limit of many degrees of freedom?
