Description
I will present lattice investigations of the Berenstein--Maldacena--Nastase deformation of maximally supersymmetric Yang--Mills quantum mechanics, focusing on its phase diagram in the plane of the temperature $T$ and deformation parameter $\mu$. By considering values of the dimensionless coupling $g = \lambda / \mu^3$ spanning more than two orders of magnitude, we find results for the deconfinement $T / \mu$ that interpolate between the $g \to 0$ perturbative prediction and recent large-$N$ dual supergravity calculations in the limit $g \to \infty$. We analyze multiple lattice sizes up to $N_{\tau} = 24$ and numbers of colors up to $N = 16$, allowing initial checks of the large-$N$ continuum limit.
