We provide a new formal extension of the BFSS matrix model by an additional 5-bracket. Maximal supersymmetry leads us to promote the BFSS 2-bracket structure constants to a dynamic…

Optimal paths across potentials on scalar field space
Saskia Demulder, Dieter Lust, Carmine Montella +1
Motivated by the Swampland Distance Conjecture, we study distances in field space using the framework of Optimal Transport. The associated optimisation problem naturally leads to a…
