In this proceeding note, I review some recent results concerning the quantum
effective action of certain matrix models, i.e. the supersymmetric IKKT model,
in the context of emergent gravity. The absence of pathological UV/IR mixing is
discussed, as well as dynamical SUSY breaking and some relations with string
theory and supergravity.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure; talk given at the 7th International Conference on
Quantum Theory and Symmetries, August 7-13, 2011, Prague/Czech Republi
