Comments on the Problem of a Covariant Formulation of Matrix Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

A possible avenue towards the covariant formulation of the bosonic Matrix Theory is explored. The approach is guided by the known covariant description of the bosonic membrane. We point out various problems with this particular covariantization scheme, stemming from the central question of how to enlarge the original U(N) symmetry of Matrix Theory while preserving all of its essential features in the infinite momentum frame.
