Title: Studies of the D0-matrix models at low temperatures 

Abstract: I will describe the low energy limit of the D0-matrix models and their gravitational interpretations. I will show that in low energies it is possible to obtain a confined, stable phase in the matrix model and how this is interpreted as a gas of supergravitons in 11D spacetime. The confinement/deconfinement transition is interpreted as a topology change on the gravity side. The deconfined phase can also be studied in low temperatures and I will show that by using the deformed D0-matrix model (BMN) where one is able to better test the gauge/gravity duality with small stringy corrections where a supergravity dual is analytically known and valid. Furthermore, if time permits, I will argue that the role of the singlet and non-singlet sectors in the contributions to the partition functions are almost the same in these low temperatures presenting theoretical arguments and numerical verifications.
