Open Membranes in Matrix Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-26 v3

Abstract

We discuss how to construct open membranes in the recently proposed matrix model of M theory. In order to sustain an open membrane, two boundary terms are needed in the construction. These boundary terms are available in the system of the longitudinal five-branes and D0-branes.
