The BFSS matrix model provides an example of gauge-theory / gravity duality where the gauge theory is a model of ordinary quantum mechanics with no spatial subsystems. If there exists a general connection between areas and entropies in this model similar to the Ryu-Takayanagi formula, the entropies must be more general than the usual subsystem entanglement entropies. In this note, we first investigate the extremal surfaces in the geometries dual to the BFSS model at zero and finite temperature. We describe a method to associate regulated areas to these surfaces and calculate the areas explicitly for a family of surfaces preserving SO(8) symmetry, both at zero and finite temperature. We then discuss possible entropic quantities in the matrix model that could be dual to these regulated areas.

We discuss some properties of a supersymmetric matrix model that is the dimensional reduction of supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory in 10 dimensions and which has been recently argued to represent the short-distance structure of M-theory in the infinite momentum frame. We describe a reduced version of the matrix quantum mechanics and derive the Nicolai map of the simplified supersymmetric matrix model. We use this to argue that there are no phase transitions in the large-N limit, and hence that S-duality is preserved in the full 11-dimensional theory.

The non-Abelian Berry phase is computed in the T dualized quantum mechanics obtained from the USp (2k) matrix model. Integrating the fermions, we find that each of the space–time points [Formula: see text] is equipped with a pair of su(2) Lie algebra valued pointlike singularities located at a distance m(f) from the orientifold surface. On a four-dimensional paraboloid embedded in the five-dimensional Euclidean space, these singularities are recognized as the BPST instantons.
