International Centre for Theoretical Sciences via YouTube

Overview

Explore complex Langevin simulations of the matrix model for superstrings in this comprehensive lecture by Jun Nishimura from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the IKKT matrix model, its crucial properties, and the emergence of (3+1)-dimensional expanding behavior. Learn about the definition of the Lorentzian IKKT matrix model, regularization techniques, and the complex Langevin method. Discover the emergence of a smooth space-time in a new phase and its relationship to the Euclidean model. Gain insights into the phase diagram, time evolution extraction, and the spontaneous symmetry breaking of SO(10). This 89-minute talk covers advanced topics in nonperturbative approaches to quantum gravity, string theory, and holography, providing a deep dive into cutting-edge research in theoretical physics.
