Abstract

We study the Matrix theory description of M-theory compactified on T4T^4 and T5T^5. M-theory on T4T^4 is described by the six dimensional (2,0) fixed point field theory compactified on a five torus, T~5\widetilde T^5. For M-theory on T5T^5 we suggest the existence of a new theory which is compactified on a T~5\widetilde T^5. The IR description of this theory is given by the (2,0) theory with a compactified moduli space. This new theory appears to be a new kind of a non-critical string theory. Clearly, these two descriptions differ from the ``standard'' Super-Yang-Mills on the dual torus prescription.
