Abstract

We study the singlet-sector structure of mass-deformed BFSSd+1_{d+1} matrix quantum mechanics by combining the large--dd Gaussian reduction with the Molien--Weyl projection. The Gaussian reduction captures the bulk matrix dynamics through a gauged harmonic oscillator, while the Molien--Weyl integral imposes the Gauss law and reorganizes the physical Hilbert space into holonomy-projected singlet excitations. We show that the very-low-temperature bosonic singlet spectrum is universally controlled by the quadratic Gram operators \Tr(XaXb)\Tr(X_aX_b), whose number is d(d+1)/2d(d+1)/2. For N=2N=2, this result is established by explicit residue computations and character methods; for N>2N>2, it is supported by the character analysis. Thus the infrared spectrum begins as a collection of BFSS2_2--like Gram towers, although higher invariant structures generally modify the full partition function. We also give a Hamiltonian derivation of the exceptional exact factorization at (d,N)=(2,2)(d,N)=(2,2), where the BFSS3_3 singlet partition function equals the cube of the BFSS2_2 one for all temperatures. This rigidity is special to the SU(2)SU(2) invariant tensor structure and explains why d=1d=1 and N=2N=2 are exceptional regimes without a deconfinement crossover. Finally, we extend the Gram-counting picture to supersymmetric BFSS/BMN models and indicate how the Molien--Weyl formulation can benchmark Monte Carlo simulations in both XaX_a-space and holonomy space.
