Abstract

We present a class of solvable SO(D) symmetric matrix models with D bosonic matrices coupled to chiral fermions. The SO(D) symmetry is spontaneously broken due to the phase of the fermion integral. This demonstrates the conjectured mechanism for the dynamical generation of four-dimensional space-time in the IIB matrix model, which was proposed as a nonperturbative definition of type IIB superstring theory in ten dimensions.
