Introduction - non-pert. formulation of superstring/M theories e.g.) Matrix Theory (Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind ’97) IIB matrix model (Ishibashi-Kawai-Kitazawa-Tsuchiya ’97) quantum description of black holes etc. dynamical origin of space-time dimensionality, gauge group, matters, etc. - gauge/gravity duality e.g.) AdS/CFT Maldacena(’97) SUPERSYMMETRY on the lattice… playing more and more important roles in string/M theory large N gauge theories

Advantages of the non-lattice simulation: theoretically clean restoration of SUSY (much faster than cont. lim.) cont. lim. approached faster than naïve expectation from # of d.o.f.. Fourier acceleration requires no extra cost. the gauge-fixed action in the continuum except for e.g.) in the 1d Wess-Zumino model degenerate mass for boson and fermion observed for higher modes : naturally suppressed by the kinetic term compensates superficial increase in computational efforts by factor of removes critical slowing down completely c.f.) lattice approach (Catterall’s talk) Catterall-Wiseman, arXiv: [hep-lat] Catterall-Karamov ’02

Summary and discussions the first Monte Carlo results for high precision confirmation of gauge/gravity duality from first principles matrix QM with maximal SUSY (16 supercharges) plays important roles in superstring/M theory non-lattice simulation method + Rational HMC method Pfaffianintegrating out fermions real positive to high accuracy in the region of T investigated no phase transition (unlike the bosonic model) no sign problem ! at small T
Implications of our results 1)Microscopic d.o.f. which accounts for the B.H. entropy has been identified. c.f) much stronger results than Strominger-Vafa (96) 2) SUSY gauge theory provides a natural framework for quantum description of B.H. at T not very small (where classical description of B.H. is no more valid.)
