Description
Recent years have seen significant progress in numerical lattice studies of supersymmetric gauge theories, exploiting formulations that exactly preserve a supersymmetry sub-algebra at non-zero lattice spacing. These investigations remain computationally demanding, especially in the large-$N$ limit of the SU($N$) gauge group. Three-dimensional theories offer a promising balance between computational costs and rich non-perturbative dynamics, including connections to quantum gravity via holographic dualities. I will present new lattice investigations of maximally supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory in three dimensions, focusing on its non-perturbative phase diagram.
