Higher-point correlators in the BFSS matrix model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-03-20 v1

Abstract

We investigate higher-point correlators in the BFSS matrix model, a non-conformal theory dual to type IIA string theory, using Witten diagrams and techniques from the amplitudes program. While the Witten diagrams are more complex than those relevant for conformal holographic theories, we find that the added complexity is minimal. As an illustration, we compute the leading three-point Witten diagram, evaluating it in a squeezed limit using the method of regions. Our results provide new targets for future Monte-Carlo and quantum simulations of the BFSS matrix model.
