Adding a Myers Term to the IIB Matrix Model

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that adding a Myers term to the IIB matrix model preserves convergence, topological class, and supersymmetry, leaving the partition function unchanged.

Contribution

It introduces a supersymmetric Myers term into the IIB matrix model and proves the model's convergence and invariance properties.

Findings

Yang-Mills matrix integrals remain convergent with Myers term

The topological class of the model is unchanged

Partition function remains invariant with supersymmetric Myers term

Abstract

We show that Yang-Mills matrix integrals remain convergent when a Myers term is added, and stay in the same topological class as the original model. It is possible to add a supersymmetric Myers term and this leaves the partition function invariant.
