Abstract: We study the maximally supersymmetric plane wave matrix model (the BMN model) at finite temperature, T, and locate the high temperature phase boundary in the (mu,T) plane, where mu is the mass parameter. We find the first transition, as the system is cooled from high temperatures, is from an approximately SO(9) symmetric phase to one where three matrices expand to form fuzzy spheres. For mu>3.0 there is a second distinct transition at a lower temperature. The two transitions approach one another at smaller mu and merge in the vicinity of mu=3.0. The resulting single transition curve then approaches the gauge/gravity prediction as mu is further decreased. We find a rough estimate of the transition, for all mu, is given by a Pad'e resummation of the large-mu, 3-loop perturbative, predictions. We find evidence that the transition at small mu is to an M5-brane phase of the theory.
