Quantum spacetime and gravity from the IKKT matrix model: an invitation
Harold C. Steinacker
This is a concise and compact introduction to a framework for spacetime, gravity, and fundamental physics based on the IKKT matrix model, focusing on conceptual and structural aspe…
Quantum spacetime and quantum fluctuations in the IKKT model at weak coupling
Harold C. Steinacker
This paper aims to clarify conceptual aspects of emergent structure in IKKT-type matrix models. Even without any adjustable parameters in the action, non-trivial matrix vacua do ac…
Spatially flat FLRW spacetimes with a Big Bang from matrix geometry
Christian Gaß, Harold Steinacker
We present an expanding, spatially flat () FLRW quantum spacetime with a Big Bang, considered as a background in Yang-Mills matrix models. The FLRW geometry emerges in the sem…
Minimal covariant quantum space-time
Alessandro Manta, Harold C. Steinacker
We discuss minimal covariant quantum space-time , which is defined through the minimal doubleton representation of . An elementary definition…
-extended gravity from the IKKT matrix model
Alessandro Manta, Harold C. Steinacker, Tung Tran
We elaborate further on the one-loop effective action of the IKKT model on 3 + 1 dimensional covariant quantum spacetime in the presence of fuzzy extra dimensions. In particular, w…
Quantum -Yang-Mills from the IKKT matrix model
Harold C. Steinacker, Tung Tran
We study the one-loop effective action of the higher-spin gauge theory induced by the IKKT matrix model on a background, where $\mathcal{M}^{1…
