Spherically symmetric solutions of higher-spin gravity in the IKKT matrix model

Abstract

We present a systematic study of spherically symmetric vacuum solutions of the IKKT matrix model, within the framework of semi-classical covariant quantum geometries. All asymptotically flat solutions of the equations of motion of the frame are found explicitly. They reproduce the linearized Schwarzschild geometry for large $r$ but deviate from it at the non-linear level, and include contributions from dilaton and axion. They are pertinent to the pre-gravity theory arising on classical brane solutions within the classical matrix model, before taking into account the Einstein-Hilbert term induced by quantum effects. We also address the problem of reconstructing matrix configurations corresponding to some given frame, and show that this problem can always be solved at the geometrical level of the underlying higher spin theory, ignoring possible higher spin modes.
