Massive deformations of supersymmetric Yang-Mills matrix models (2507.17813v1)

Abstract: We systematically classify all supersymmetry-preserving mass deformations of SYM matrix models in all dimensions (D = 3, 4, 6, 10). In D = 10 the polarized IKKT model emerges as the only possible deformation. Moreover, in the particular case D = 4 we identify two massive, sign-problem-free models, making them attractive candidates for non-perturbative numerical studies.
