We propose a unitary matrix model as a regularization of the IIB matrix model of Ishibashi-Kawai-Kitazawa-Tsuchiya (IKKT). The fermionic part is incorporated using the overlap formalism in order to avoid unwanted ``doublers'' while…

The type IIB matrix model was proposed as a non-perturbative formulation of superstring theory in 1996. We simulate a model that describes the late time behavior of the IIB matrix model by applying the complex Langevin method to overcome…

The IIB matrix model proposes a mechanism for dynamically generating four dimensional space--time in string theory by spontaneous breaking of the ten dimensional rotational symmetry $\textrm{SO}(10)$. Calculations using the Gaussian…

Assuming that the large-$N$ master field of the Lorentzian IIB matrix model has been obtained, we go through the procedure of how the coordinates of emerging spacetime points can be extracted. Explicit calculations with test master fields…

The large-$N$ master field of the Lorentzian IIB matrix model is of course not known, but we can assume that we already have it and investigate how the emerging spacetime metric could be extracted. We show that, in principle, it is possible…

Starting with topological field theory, we derive space-time uncertainty relation proposed by Yoneya through breakdown of topological symmetry in the large $N$ matrix model. Next, on the basis of only two basic principles, those are,…

The IKKT or IIB matrix model has been proposed as a non-perturbative definition of type IIB superstring theories. It has the attractive feature that space--time appears dynamically. It is possible that lower dimensional universes dominate…

We construct a Lorentzian length space with an orthogonal splitting on a product $I\times X$ of an interval and a metric space, and use this framework to consider the relationship between metric and causal geometry, as well as synthetic…

We construct a 1+1 dimensional superstring-bit model for D=3 Type IIB superstring. This low dimension model escapes the problems encountered in higher dimension models: (1) It possesses full Galilean supersymmetry; (2) For noninteracting…

Critical scaling and universality in short-time dynamics for spin models on a two-dimensional triangular lattice are investigated by using Monte Carlo simulation. Emphasis is placed on the dynamic evolution from fully ordered initialstates…

We argue that the large-$N$ master field of the Lorentzian IIB matrix model can give the points and metric of a classical spacetime.

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…

Three-dimensional Lorentzian quantum gravity, expressed as the continuum limit of a nonperturbative sum over spacetimes, is tantalizingly close to being amenable to analytical methods, and some of its properties have been described in terms…

We study the large N reduced model of D-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with special attention to dynamical aspects related to the eigenvalues of the N by N matrices, which correspond to the space-time coordinates in the IIB matrix model. We…

We uncover a surprising correspondence between a non-perturbative formulation of three-dimensional Lorentzian quantum gravity and a hermitian two-matrix model with ABAB-interaction. The gravitational transfer matrix can be expressed as the…

Universal spacetimes are exact solutions to all higher-order theories of gravity. We study these spacetimes in four dimensions and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for universality for all Petrov types except of type II. We show…

We study type II universal metrics of the Lorentzian signature. These metrics simultaneously solve vacuum field equations of all theories of gravitation with the Lagrangian being a polynomial curvature invariant constructed from the metric,…

We investigate the constraints imposed by supersymmetry on the IIB matrix model (IKKT model) by requiring both the closure of the transformations and the satisfaction of the Ward identities at the leading order of the order expansion.…
