Abstract:
I will discuss recent progress on the mass-deformed IKKT matrix model and its holographic dual. I will first review BFSS and IKKT conjectures and contrast them with standard AdS/CFT. I will then introduce the mass-deformed IKKT matrix model and discuss its holographic dual. Finally I will also discuss a setup in which one can directly relate AdS/CFT and the BFSS conjecture.
