Nonperturbative test of the Maldacena-Milekhin conjecture for the BMN matrix model

TL;DR

This paper uses lattice Monte Carlo simulations to test the Maldacena-Milekhin conjecture for the ungauged BMN matrix model, confirming its consistency with perturbative and gravity results across different flux regimes.

Contribution

It provides the first nonperturbative numerical evidence supporting the Maldacena-Milekhin conjecture for the ungauged BMN matrix model.

Findings

Numerical results match perturbative predictions at large flux.

Results agree with gravity calculations at small flux.

Simulations support the conjecture's validity across regimes.

Abstract

We test a conjecture by Maldacena and Milekhin for the ungauged version of the Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase (BMN) matrix model by lattice Monte Carlo simulation. The numerical results reproduce the perturbative and gravity results in the limit of large and small flux parameter, respectively, and are consistent with the conjecture.
