String Dualities from Matrix Theory
We suggest that the (2,0) six dimensional field theory compactified on S × K3 is the Matrix model description of both M-theory on K3 and the Heterotic string on T . This proposal is different from existing proposals for the Heterotic theory. Different limits of the base space geometry give the different space-time interpretations, making Mtheory/Heterotic duality manifest. We also present parti...
متن کاملString Dualities from Matrix Theory: A Summary
In the last year a significant amount of evidence has accumulated in support of the conjecture of Banks, Fischler, Shenker and Susskind on the non-perturbative formulation of M-theory[1]. The conjecture, however, needs to be extended when describing M-theory compactified down to seven or less non-compact spacetime dimensions. The details of the extension for M-theory on a 4torus were discussed ...

Title of dissertation: K-THEORETIC ASPECTS OF STRING THEORY DUALITIES Stefan Méndez-Diez, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jonathan Rosenberg Department of Mathematics String theory is a a physical field theory in which point particles are replaced by 1-manifolds propagating in time, called strings. The 2-manifold representing the time evolution of a string is call...
متن کاملBlack Holes in Supergravity and String Theory
We give an elementary introduction to black holes in supergravity and string theory. The focus is on the role of BPS solutions in fourand higher-dimensional supergravity and in string theory. Basic ideas and techniques are explained in detail, including exercises with solutions.
متن کاملSupergravity Duals of Matrix String Theory
We study holographic duals of type II and heterotic matrix string theories described by warped AdS3 supergravities. By explicitly solving the linearized equations of motion around near horizon D-string geometries, we determine the spectrum of Kaluza-Klein primaries for type I, II supergravities on warped AdS3 × S7. The results match those coming from the dual two-dimensional gauge theories livi...
