Expanding (3+1)-dimensional universe from a Lorentzian matrix model for superstring theory in (9+1)-dimensions Seminar at University of Tokyo, (Mon.) Jun Nishimura (KEK, Sokendai) Ref.) Kim-J.N.-Tsuchiya arXiv: , to appear in PRL

Answers from a nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory in (9+1)-dimensions fundamental questions concerning our universe 1.Why (3+1)-dimensions ? 2.Why expanding ?

Previous works Euclideanized model with SO(10) sym. has been studied. SSB of SO(10) studied by Gaussian Expansion Method J.N.-Okubo-Sugino, JHEP1110(2011)135 free energy of SO(d) symmetric vacua (d=2,3,4,5,6,7) minimum at d=3 extent of space-time finite in all directions motivated us to reconsider the formulation Ishibashi-Kawai-Kitazawa-Tsuchiya (’96)

Our new proposal : regularize SO(9,1) Lorentzian symmetric model without Wick rotation Monte Carlo simulation 3 out of 9 spatial directions start to expand at some “critical time”

Matrix model with SO(9,1) symmetry raised and lowered by the metric Hermitian matrices Wick rotation Euclidean model with SO(10) symmetry

Partition function of the Lorentzian model connection to the worldsheet theory opposite sign ! Unlike the Euclidean model, the path integral is ill-defined ! c.f.) complex in the Euclidean model the phase factor induces SSB of SO(10) J.N.-Vernizzi (’00), Anagnostopoulos-J.N.(’02) Krauth-Nicolai-Staudacher (’98), Austing-Wheater (’01)

Regularizing the Lorentzian model In order to separate space and time, we “gauge fix” the boost invariance. (1) IR cutoff in the temporal direction SO(9) symmetry is still manifest.

Regularizing oscillating functions inserting unity convergence factor

Cure this divergence by imposing : (2) IR cutoff in the spatial direction

Thus we arrive at Yoneya ('97) Monte Carlo simulation : Rational Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm no sign problem unlike in the Euclidean model

Extracting time evolution

“critical time” SSB

Consider a simpler problem : solution : representation matrices of a compact semi-simple Lie algebra with d generators Maximum is achieved for SU(2) algebra

(continuum limit) (infinite volume limit) The theory thus obtained has no parameters other than one scale paramter !

Clear large-N scaling behavior observed with (continuum limit)

The extent of time increases and the size of the universe becomes very large at later time. (infinite volume limit)

A new proposal for the nonperturbative formulation of type IIB superstring theory in ten dimensions. instead of making Wick rotation, we introduce the IR cutoffs for both temporal and spatial directions after “gauge fixing” the boost symmetry The two cutoffs can be removed in the large-N limit. The theory thus obtained has no parameters other than one scale parameter. Summary

Integrating over the scale factor first, we obtain a model without sign problem. c.f.) Monte Carlo studies of Euclidean model difficult due to sign problem Monte Carlo simulation revealed SSB of SO(9) down to SO(3) at some critical time. mechanism is totally different from that for the SSB in the Euclidean model the size of the 3d space increases with time Cosmological singularity is naturally avoided due to noncommutativity.

Crucial role played by SUSY c.f.) bosonic model no expansion and no SSB ! Complementary studies based on classical equations of motion A class of SO(3) symmetric solutions the time-dependence compatible with the expanding universe noncommutativity of space time : OK Kim-J.N.-Tsuchiya arXiv:

We hope the Lorentzian matrix model provides a new perspective on particle physics beyond the standard model cosmological models for inflation, modified gravity, etc.. Future directions Does a local field theory on a commutative space-time appear at later time ? How do 4 fundamental interactions and the matter fields appear at later time ?
