Quiver Mechanics for Deconstructed Matrix String

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v4

Abstract

In this paper we propose a quiver model of matrix quantum mechanics with 8 supercharges which, on a Higgs branch, deconstructs the worldsheet of Matrix String Theory. This discrete model evades the fermion doubling problem and, in the continuum limit, enhances the number of supersymmetries to sixteen. Our model is motivated by orbifolding the Matrix Model, and the deconstruction {\it ansatz} exhibits a duality between target space compactification and worldsheet deconstruction.
