Description

Continuing our previous analysis of a supersymmetric quantum-mechanical matrix model, we study in detail the properties of its sectors with fermion number F = 2 and 3. We confirm all previous expectations, modulo the appearance, at strong coupling, of two new bosonic ground states causing a further jump in Witten's index across a previously identified critical 't Hooft coupling λc. We are able to elucidate the origin of these new SUSY vacua by considering the λ→∞ limit and a strong coupling expansion around it
