| Popis: | The IIB matrix model has been suggested as a particular formulation of nonperturbative superstring theory (M-theory). It has now been realized that an emerging classical spacetime may reside in its large-$N$ master field. This bosonic master field can, in principle, give rise to Minkowski and Robertson-Walker spacetimes. The outstanding task is to solve the bosonic master-field equation, which is essentially an algebraic equation. In this article, we present new results for the $(D,\,N)=(10,\,4)$ bosonic master-field equation of the IIB matrix model, where $D$ is the number of bosonic matrices and $N$ the matrix size. We also give, in a self-contained appendix, explicit results for critical points of the effective bosonic action. The main physics application of the (dimensionless) IIB matrix model may be in providing a (conformal) phase that replaces the Friedmann big bang singularity.
