Abstract

We study the maximally supersymmetric BFSS model at finite temperature and its bosonic relative. For the bosonic model in dimensions, we find that it effectively reduces to a system of gauged Gaussian matrix models. The effective model captures the low temperature regime of the model including one of its two phase transitions. The mass becomes for large , with the 'tHooft coupling. Simulations of the bosonic-BFSS model with give , which is also the mass gap of the Hamiltonian. We argue that there is no `sign' problem in the maximally supersymmetric BFSS model and perform detailed simulations of several observables finding excellent agreement with AdS/CFT predictions when corrections are included.
