Matrix model with superconformal symmetry

TL;DR

This paper introduces a matrix model that reproduces the discrete eigenvalue model for 2D supergravity coupled with superconformal matter, advancing the understanding of supergravity in lower dimensions.

Contribution

It presents a new matrix model formulation that aligns with recent proposals for 2D supergravity coupled to superconformal matter.

Findings

Reproduces the discrete eigenvalue model for 2D supergravity

Establishes a link between matrix models and supergravity theories

Provides a framework for further exploration of superconformal matter in lower dimensions

Abstract

A matrix model is presented which leads to the discrete ``eigenvalue model'' proposed recently by Alvarez-Gaum\'e {\it et.al.} for 2D supergravity (coupled to superconformal matters).
