String Dualities from Matrix Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 partial results on Heterotic/F-theory duality.

From Supermembrane to Matrix String
We develop a systematic method of directly embedding supermembrane wrapped around a circle into matrix string theory. Our purpose is to study connection between matrix string and membrane from an entirely 11 dimensional point of view. The method does neither rely upon the DLCQ limit nor upon string dualities. In principle, this enables us to construct matrix string theory with arbitrary backgro...
متن کاملWrapped membranes, matrix string theory and an infinite dimensional Lie algebra
We examine the algebraic structure of the matrix regularization for the wrapped membrane on R10 × S1 in the light-cone gauge. We give a concrete representation for the algebra and obtain the matrix string theory having the boundary conditions for the matrix variables corresponding to the wrapped membrane, which is referred to neither Seiberg and Sen’s arguments nor string dualities. We also emb...
متن کاملA New Approach to Superstring Field Theory
I review the construction of an action for open superstring field theory which does not suffer from the contact term problems of other approaches. I also discuss a possible generalization of this action for closed superstring field theory. (Talk presented at 32 Ahrenshoop International Symposium on Elementary Particle Theory in Buckow, Germany) 1 Problems with Conventional Approach The construc...
متن کاملUnification of String Dualities
We argue that all conjectured dualities involving various string, Mand F theory compactifications can be ‘derived’ from the conjectured duality between type I and SO(32) heterotic string theory, T-dualities, and the definition of Mand F theories. (Based on a talk given at the conference on ‘Advanced Quantum Field Theory’, Le Londe-les-Maures, France, Aug.31-Sept.5, 1996, in memory of Claude Itz...
متن کاملNew Perspectives in String Phenomenology from Dualities 1
After a review of some topics concerning the phenomenological applications of perturbative string theory, I discuss to what extent all of it is affected by the recent developements in string dualities. To appear in the proceedings of the Workshop on Phenomenological Applications of String Theory (PAST), ICTP, Trieste (Italy), October 1997.
