We study the gravity solution dual to the D0 brane quantum mechanics, or BFSS matrix model, in the 't Hooft limit. The classical physics described by this gravity solution is invariant under a scaling transformation, which changes the…
We perform a numerical simulation of the classical evolution of the plane-wave matrix model with semiclassical initial conditions. Some of these initial conditions thermalize and are dual to a black hole forming from the collision of…
We study the collapse of a fuzzy sphere, that is a spherical membrane built out of D0-branes, in the BFSS model. At weak coupling, as the sphere shrinks, open strings are produced. If the initial radius is large then open string production…
We analyze fuzzy configurations of D0-branes in BFSS matrix model as microstates of black hole. Fuzzy configurations of D0-branes consist of localized fuzzy objects in 3 spatial directions which are smeared into 6 internal directions. Since…
Is the evaporation of a black hole described by a unitary theory? In order to shed light on this question ---especially aspects of this question such as a black hole's negative specific heat---we consider the real-time dynamics of a…
We study the process of bound state formation in a D-brane collision. We consider two mechanisms for bound state formation. The first, operative at weak coupling in the worldvolume gauge theory, is pair creation of W-bosons. The second,…
We develop an approximation scheme for the quantum mechanics of N D0-branes at finite temperature in the 't Hooft large-N limit. The entropy of the quantum mechanics calculated using this approximation agrees well with the…
Recently, in collaboration with Susskind, we proposed a model of Schwarzschild black holes in Matrix theory. A large Schwarzschild black hole is described by a metastable bound state of a large number of D0-branes which are held together by…
We discuss the ten dimensional black holes made of D0-branes in the regime where the effective coupling is large, and yet the 11D geometry is unimportant. We suggest that these black holes can be interpreted as excitations over the…
We study the confinement/deconfinement transition in the D0-brane matrix model (often called the BFSS matrix model) and its one-parameter deformation (the BMN matrix model) numerically by lattice Monte Carlo simulations. Our results confirm…
We propose a toy model for study merger transitions in a curved spaceime with an arbitrary number of dimensions. This model includes a bulk N-dimensional static spherically symmetric black hole and a test D-dimensional brane interacting…
We present a crude Matrix Theory model for Schwarzchild black holes in uncompactified dimension greater than $5$. The model accounts for the size, entropy, and long range state interactions of black holes. The key feature of the model is a…
We discuss various mechanisms of catalysis of black holes/wormholes (BH/WH) formation in particles collisions. The current paradigm suggests that BH/WH formation in particles collisions will happen when center of mass energies of colliding…
We investigate classical formation of a D-dimensional black hole in a high energy collision of two particles. The existence of an apparent horizon is related to the solution of an unusual boundary-value problem for Poisson's equation in…
We study two-dimensional eternal black holes with non-zero mass, where each asymptotic boundary is in contact with a CFT on a circle, following the doubly holographic braneworld models constructed in [arXiv:2006.04851, arXiv:2010.00018,…
We investigate a mechanism for generating mass terms in the IKKT and BFSS matrix theories through compactification on a torus and the derivation of a zero-mode effective theory, emphasising the crucial role of fermionic boundary conditions.…
Analytic form has been obtained for four-dimensional black holes with a minimal Hawking temperature in a theory with cosmological constant, dilaton and gauge fields. In general dimensions, black hole solutions are shown to exist and their…
Based on a gas picture of D0-brane partons, it is shown that the entropy, as well as the geometric size of an infinitely boosted Schwarzschild black hole, can be accounted for in matrix theory by interactions involving spins, or…
We investigate black hole formation by a spherically collapsing thin shell of matter in AdS space. This process has been suggested to have a holographic interpretation as thermalization of the CFT on the boundary of the AdS space. The…
The charged black hole is considered from the viewpoint of D0-brane in the Matrix theory. It can be obtained from the Kaluza-Klein mechanism by boosting the Schwarzschild black hole in a circle, which is the compactified one dimensional…
