Abstract
It is known that if we compactify D0-branes on a torus with constant B-field, the resulting theory becomes SYM theory on a noncommutative dual torus. We discuss the extension to the case of a H-field background. In the case of constant H-field on a three-torus, we derive the constraints to realize this compactification by considering the correspondence to string theory. We carry out this work as a first step to examine the possibility to describe transverse M5-branes in Matrix theory.
