Title:  New directions for the matrix theory bootstrap

Abstract: Lately, there has been a lot of interest in applying bootstrap methods to matrix models. In this talk, I will give a review of bootstrap methods and how they can be used to constrain observables in quantum systems and bosonic matrix models. Then, I will cover current research efforts to understand supersymmetric matrix models, or more precisely the Marisi-Parisi (MP) model and the BFSS matrix model, using bootstrap methods. Finally, I will give an overview of new directions that could be explored using the matrix theory bootstrap. This will include research directions related to the MP model, multi-matrix models, and tensor networks.
