Description
Abstract: It has recently been proposed that supersymmetric black hole microstates exhibit “fortuity”: their very existence depends sensitively on the finite, precise values of N, the number of degrees of freedom in the dual theory. In the first half of the talk, I will discuss a simple matrix quantum mechanical model with a single adjoint fermion, that is exactly solvable yet contains a large number of fortuitous states. In the second half of the talk, by utilizing this model as a benchmark, I will describe an ongoing attempt in using the large N matrix bootstrap technique to learn about fortuitous or monotone states in matrix systems.
