Black Hole Evaporation in the BFSS Model

​The BFSS model is a 0+1D large-N supersymmetric matrix quantum mechanics which is known to reduce to 10+1D supergravity in the low-temperature limit, and which has been proposed as a nonperturbative definition of M-theory. I will show that by studying black hole thermodynamics in the BFSS model using lattice techniques we can make direct tests of gauge/gravity duality and make predictions about stringy corrections to supergravity. Furthermore, I will give a unitary description of how a black hole completely evaporates in this model, and show that black holes described by any large-N matrix model should have negative specific heat.
