Chaos in Classical D0-Brane Mechanics

arXiv:1512.00019 · doi:10.1007/JHEP02(2016)091

Abstract

We study chaos in the classical limit of the matrix quantum mechanical system describing D0-brane dynamics. We determine a precise value of the largest Lyapunov exponent, and, with less precision, calculate the entire spectrum of Lyapunov exponents. We verify that these approach a smooth limit as . We show that a classical analog of scrambling occurs with fast scrambling scaling, . These results confirm the k-locality property of matrix mechanics discussed by Sekino and Susskind.
