Orientifolds of Matrix theory and Noncommutative Geometry

Abstract

We study explicit solutions for orientifolds of Matrix theory compactified on noncommutative torus. As quotients of torus, cylinder, Klein bottle and M\"obius strip are applicable as orientifolds. We calculate the solutions using Connes, Douglas and Schwarz's projective module solution, and investigate twisted gauge bundle on quotient spaces as well. They are Yang-Mills theory on noncommutative torus with proper boundary conditions which define the geometry of the dual space.
