Matrix description of M-theory on T6

Matrix Description of M - theory on T 6

We give some evidence that the worldvolume theory of the M-theory KK 6-brane is governed by a non-critical membrane theory. We use this theory to give a matrix description of Mtheory on T .

On the M - theory description of gaugino condensation

We present an additional test of the recent proposal for describing supersymmetry breaking due to gaugino condensation in the strong coupling regime, by a Scherk-Schwarz mechanism on the eleventh dimension of M-theory. An analysis of super-symmetric transformations in the infinite-radius limit reveals the presence of a dis-continuity in the spinorial parameter, which coincides with the result f...

Towards the matrix model of M - theory on a lattice

The Wilson discretization of the dimensionally reduced supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is constructed. This gives a lattice version of the matrix model of M-theory. An SU(2) model is studied numerically in the quenched approximation for D=4. The system shows canonical scaling in the continuum limit. A clear signal for a prototype of the “black hole to strings” phase transition is found. The ps...

Matrix Theory , U - Duality and Toroidal Compactifications of M - Theory

Using U-duality, the properties of the matrix theories corresponding to the compactification of M-theory on T d are investigated. The couplings of the d + 1 dimensional effective Super-Yang-Mills theory to all the M-theory moduli is deduced and the spectrum of BPS branes in the SYM gives the corresponding spectrum of the matrix theory. Known results are recovered for d ≤ 5 and predictions for d...
