Abstract

We present four infinite series of new quantum theories with super-Poincare symmetry in six dimensions, which are not local quantum field theories. They have string like excitations but the string coupling is of order one. Compactifying these theories on T5T^5 we find a Matrix theory description of M theory on T5T^5 and on T5/\IZ2T^5/\IZ_2, which is well defined and is manifestly U-duality invariant.
