Fortuity with a single matrix

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-11-12 v2

Abstract

We construct and study a supersymmetric quantum mechanical model with a single U(N)U(N) adjoint fermionic matrix. The model is exactly solvable yet contains a large number of fortuitous states. We investigate these states exactly at finite NN and, in the large NN limit, via a unitary matrix model. In particular, we develop a way to "follow NN" in the unitary matrix integral and study how the answer of the integral depends sensitively on the value of NN.
