Abstract
We investigate the thermal phase structure of the Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase matrix model using nonperturbative lattice Monte Carlo calculations. Our main analyses span 3 orders of magnitude in the coupling, involving systems with sizes up to Nτ=24 lattice sites and SU(N) gauge groups with 8≤N≤16. In addition, we carry out extended checks of discretization artifacts for Nτ≤128 and gauge group SU(4). We find results for the deconfinement temperature that interpolate between the perturbative prediction at weak coupling and the large-N dual supergravity calculation at strong coupling. While we confirm that the phase transition is first order for strong coupling, it appears to be continuous for weaker couplings.
