String Dualities from Matrix Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We suggest that the (2,0) six dimensional field theory compactified on S1×K3S^1\times K3 is the Matrix model description of both M-theory on K3K3 and the Heterotic string on T3T^3. This proposal is different from existing proposals for the Heterotic theory. Different limits of the base space geometry give the different space-time interpretations, making M-theory/Heterotic duality manifest. We also present partial results on Heterotic/F-theory duality.
