Abstract: We study the properties of the space-time that emerges dynamically from the matrix model for type IIB superstrings in ten dimensions. We calculate the free energy and the extent of space-time using the Gaussian expansion method up to the third order. Unlike previous works, we study the SO(d) symmetric vacua with all possible values of d within the range 2ledle7, and observe clear indication of plateaus in the parameter space of the Gaussian action, which is crucial for the results to be reliable. The obtained results indeed exhibit systematic dependence on d, which turns out to be surprisingly similar to what was observed recently in an analogous work on the six-dimensional version of the model. In particular, we find the following properties: i) the extent in the shrunken directions is given by a constant, which does not depend on d; ii) the ten-dimensional volume of the Euclidean space-time is given by a constant, which does not depend on d except for d = 2; iii) The free energy takes the minimum value at d = 3. Intuitive understanding of these results is given by using the low-energy effective theory and some Monte Carlo results.
