Testing M(atrix) Theory at Two Loops

چکیده
This lecture is based on two papers; a first paper that was written with Melanie Becker [1] and a second paper that we wrote with our collaborators Joe Polchinski and Arkady Tseytlin [2]. M-theory is our most promising candidate of being a quantum theory in eleven dimensions that includes gravity. Although we do not have a complete answer to the question what M-theory is we understand several aspects of it:

Complete solution for M(atrix) theory at two loops
The complete result for the effective potential for two graviton exchange at two loops in M(atrix) theory can be expressed in terms of a generalized hypergeometric function.
متن کاملOn Graviton Scattering Amplitudes in M-Theory
We compute graviton scattering amplitudes in M-theory using Feynman rules for a scalar particle coupled to gravity in eleven dimensions. The processes that we consider describe the single graviton exchange and the double graviton exchange, that in M(atrix) theory correspond to the v/rand v/r-term respectively. We further show that the v/r-term appearing in M(atrix) theory at two-loops can be ob...
متن کاملGraviton scattering amplitudes in M theory
We compute graviton scattering amplitudes in M theory using Feynman rules for a scalar particle coupled to gravity in eleven dimensions. The processes that we consider describe the single graviton exchange and the double graviton exchange, that in M~atrix! theory correspond to the v/r and v/r term, respectively. We argue that the v/r term appearing in M~atrix! theory at two loops can be obtaine...
متن کاملA Two-Loop Test of M(atrix) Theory
We consider the scattering of two Dirichlet zero-branes in M(atrix) theory. Using the formulation of M(atrix) theory in terms of ten-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory dimensionally reduced to (0 + 1)-dimensions, we obtain the effective (velocity dependent) potential describing these particles. At one-loop we obtain the well known result for the leading order of the effective potential Veff ∼ ...
متن کاملM ( atrix ) Theory on an Orbifold and Twisted Membrane 1
M(atrix) theory on an orbifold and classical two-branes therein are studied with particular emphasis to heterotic M(atrix) theory on S1/Z2 relevant to strongly coupled heterotic and dual Type IA string theories. By analyzing orbifold condition on Chan-Paton factors, we show that three choices of gauge group are possible for heterotic M(atrix) theory: SO(2N), SO(2N + 1) or USp(2N). By examining ...
