Two-dimensional superstrings and the supersymmetric matrix model

arXiv:hep-th/0308105 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2004/04/015

Abstract

We present evidence that the supersymmetric matrix model of Marinari and Parisi represents the world-line theory of N unstable D-particles in type II superstring theory in two dimensions. This identification suggests that the matrix model gives a holographic description of superstrings in a two-dimensional black hole geometry.
