Description
The conjectured holographic duality between supersymmetric Yang-Mills
quantum mechanics and type IIa string theory in principle allows to
probe the physics of certain supergravity black holes by lattice Monte
Carlo simulations. In this talk we derive the fermion loop formulation
of the 4 and 16 supercharge SU(N) theory on the lattice. The loop
formulation naturally separates the contributions to the partition
function into its bosonic and fermionic parts and hence provides a way
to control a potential fermion sign problem arising from the Pfaffian
phase. We present first numerical results for the theories at large
values of N and down to low temperatures.
