We show that the $c=1$ bosonic string theory at finite temperature has two matrix-model realizations related by a kind of duality transformation. The first realization is the standard one given by the compactified matrix quantum mechanics…

The iterative method of Sinkhorn allows, starting from an arbitrary real matrix with non-negative entries, to find a so-called 'scaled matrix' which is doubly stochastic, i.e. a matrix with all entries in the interval (0, 1) and with all…

We extend the results found for Matrix String Theory to Heterotic Matrix String Theory, i.e. to a 2d O(N) SYM theory with chiral (anomaly free) matter and N=(8,0) supersymmetry. We write down the instanton equations for this theory and…

We observe that the null string action possesses a previously overlooked local symmetry. By correctly accounting for this symmetry, we show that the number of physical propagating degrees of freedom of null strings in $D$ dimensional target…

In this note we expose some surprising connections between string theory and statistical inference. We consider a large collective of agents sweeping out a family of nearby statistical models for an M-dimensional manifold of statistical…

A 1-matrix model is proposed, which nicely interpolates between double-scaling continuum limits of all multimatrix models. The interpolating partition function is always a KP $\tau $-function and always obeys ${\cal L}_{-1}$-constraint and…

Using the coherent state formalism we calculate matrix elements of the one-loop non-planar dilatation operator of ${\cal N}=4$ SYM between operators dual to folded Frolov-Tseytlin strings and observe a curious scaling behavior. We comment…

In this paper we propose a new scaling method to study the Schur complements of $SDD_{1}$ matrices. Its core is related to the non-negative property of the inverse $M$-matrix, while numerically improving the Quotient formula. Based on the…

We review properties of lower-dimension vacuum defects observed in lattice simulations of SU(2) Yang-Mills theories. One- and two-dimensional defects are associated with ultraviolet divergent action. The action is the same divergent as in…

We study the O(3) sigma model in $D=2$ on the lattice with a Boltzmann weight linearized in $\beta$ on each link. While the spin formulation now suffers from a sign-problem the equivalent loop model remains positive and becomes particularly…

This PhD-thesis reviews matrix string theory and recent developments therein. Emphasis is put on symmetries, interactions and scattering processes in the matrix model. We start with an introduction to matrix string theory and a review of…

We report on a very accurate measurement of the static quark potential in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in (2+1) dimensions in order to study the corrections to the linear behaviour. We perform numerical simulations at zero and finite temperature…

We study the description of Schwarzschild black holes, of entropy S, within matrix theory in the regime $N \ge S \gg 1$. We obtain the most general matrix theory equation of state by requiring that black holes admit a description within…

This article deals with the limiting spectral distributions (LSD) of symmetric Toeplitz and Hankel matrices with dependent entries. For any fixed positive integer $m$, we consider these $n \times n$ matrices with entries $\{Y^{(m)}_j /…

We study the effective string corrections to the inter-quark potential at finite temperature by simulating the SU(2) lattice gauge theory in four dimensions. We provide the first numerical evidence that the logarithmic correction to the…

Can the behavior of a random matrix be improved by modifying a small fraction of its entries? Consider a random matrix $A$ with i.i.d. entries. We show that the operator norm of $A$ can be reduced to the optimal order $O(\sqrt{n})$ by…

Local scale invariance for lattice models is studied using new realizations of the Schr\"odinger algebra. The two-point function is calculated and it turns out that the result can be reproduced from exact two-point correlation functions…

We present a pair of symmetric formulations of the matter sector of the stationary effective action of heterotic string theory that arises after the toroidal compactification of d dimensions. The first formulation is written in terms of a…

We compute the S-matrix, for the scattering of two string states, on a noncommutative D3-brane in a path integral formalism. Our analysis attempts to resolve the issue of ``imaginary string'', originally raised by `t Hooft in a…

In this paper we use the matrix string approach to begin a study of high energy scattering processes in M-theory. In particular we exhibit an instanton-type configuration in 1+1 super-Yang-Mills theory that can be interpreted as a…
