Description
In the Lorentzian IKKT theory, space and time are not assumed in a priori but are described by the dynamics of matrices. Since classical saddles are expected to be the dominant contributions to path integral, it is crucial to solve the equations of motion for these matrices that describe spacetime. In this work, we apply Lie-algebraic ansatz to solve the Lorentzian IKKT matrix model. Through the ansatz, we are able to single out a non-trivial (non-nilpotent) 10D saddle.
