We study the exceptional U duality group $E_d$ of M-theory compactified on a d-torus and its representations using Matrix theory. We exhibit the $E_d$ structure and show that p-branes wrapped or unwrapped around the longitudinal direction…

Using M(atrix) Theory, the dualities of toroidally compactified M-theory can be formulated as properties of super Yang Mills theories in various dimensions. We consider the cases of compactification on one, two, three, four and five…
We study compactifications of Matrix theory on twisted tori and non-commutative versions of them. As a first step, we review the construction of multidimensional twisted tori realized as nilmanifolds based on certain nilpotent Lie algebras.…

The full U-duality symmetry of toroidally compactified M-theory can only be displayed by allowing non-rectangular tori with expectation values of the gauge fields. We construct an E_d(Z) U-duality invariant mass formula incorporating…
We consider the compactification of Matrix theory on tori with background antisymmetric tensor field. Douglas and Hull have recently discussed how noncommutative geometry appears on the tori. In this paper, we demonstrate the concrete…
This work is intended as a pedagogical introduction to M-theory and to its maximally supersymmetric toroidal compactifications, in the frameworks of 11D supergravity, type II string theory and M(atrix) theory. U-duality is used as the main…
We study (0,2) supersymmetric two-dimensional theories obtained by compactifying four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric theories on a two-torus, with a magnetic field for a global U(1) symmetry, and present evidence that Seiberg duality in…
M(atrix) theory description is investigated for M-theory compactified on non-orientable manifolds. Relevant M(atrix) theory is obtained by Fourier transformation in a way consistent with T-duality. For nine-dimensional compactification on…
We demonstrate the precise numerical correspondence between long range scattering of supergravitons and membranes in supergravity in the infinite momentum frame and in M(atrix)-Theory, both in 11 dimensions and for toroidal…
We consider M(atrix) theory compactifications to seven dimensions with eight unbroken supersymmetries. We conjecture that both M(atrix) theory on K3 and Heterotic M(atrix) theory on T^3 are described by the same 5+1 dimensional theory with…
We explore various aspects of implementing the full M-theory U-duality group E_{d+1}, and thus Lorentz invariance, in the finite N matrix theory (DLCQ of M-theory) on d-tori: (1) We generalize the analysis of U-duality orbits of BPS states…
We present the supersymmetric completion of the M-theory free differential algebra resulting from a compactification to four dimensions on a twisted seven-torus with 4-form and 7-form fluxes turned on. The super--curvatures are given and…
Duality groups of Abelian gauge theories on four manifolds and their reduction to two dimensions are considered. The duality groups include elements that relate different space-times in addition to relating different gauge-coupling…
We analyze the U-duality group for the case of a type II superstring compactified to four dimensions on a K3 surface times a torus. The various limits of this theory are considered which have interpretations as type IIA and IIB…
We study 2+1D toroidal compactifications of M-theory with twists in the U-duality group. These compactifications realize many symmetric-manifolds from the classification of 2+1D extended supergravity moduli-spaces. We then focus on the…
By dimensional reduction of a self dual p-form theory on some compact space, we determine the duality generators of the gauge theory in 4 dimensions. In this picture duality is seen as a consequence of the geometry of the compact space. We…
The matrix model formulation of M theory can be generalized to compact transverse backgrounds such as tori. If the number of compact directions is K then the matrix model must be generalized to K+1 dimensional super Yang Mills theory on a…
We study the Matrix theory description of M-theory compactified on $T^4$ and $T^5$. M-theory on $T^4$ is described by the six dimensional (2,0) fixed point field theory compactified on a five torus, $\widetilde T^5$. For M-theory on $T^5$…
