Abstract

In the Matrix theories compactified on the dd dimensional torus with d=5,6,7d = 5, 6, 7 which are described by the theories of Ddd-branes in the type IIA or IIB theory on the dd dimensional dual torus we analyze the BPS bound states of the background Ddd-brane with other objects by taking the matrix theory limit. Through the Nahm duality transformation the flux and the momentum multiplets for these BPS states are shown to be associated with the black holes and the black strings respectively from the viewpoint of the weakly coupled type IIA string theory compactified on the d1d-1 dimensional torus.
