Abstract: We will discuss some known subtleties of emergent geometries from large N theories (why they are different from our normal expectation for a continuum spacetime) and discuss a way to address them. We will use matrix models as our main example. The primary tool will be an exact bosonization of nonrelativistic fermions that was discovered some time ago.
