M(atrix) theory is known to be mass-deformed in the pp-wave background and still retains all 16 dynamical supersymmetries. We consider generalization of such deformations on super Yang-Mills quantum mechanics (SYQM) with less supersymmetry.…
We give arguments in the support of a relation between M-atrix theory and Maldacena's conjecture. M-atrix theory conjecture implies the equivalence of 11-D light-cone supergravity and strongly-coupled (0+1)-D SYM. Maldacena's SUGRA/SYM…
We study correlation functions in (0+1)-dimensional maximally supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory, which was proposed by Banks et al. as a non-perturbative definition of 11-dimensional M-theory in the infinite-momentum frame. We perform…
We argue that the Penrose limit of a general string background is a generalization of the Seiberg-Sen limit describing M(atrix) theory as the DLCQ of M theory in flat space. The BMN theory of type IIB strings on the maximally supersymmetric…
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…
In this article we present a self contained review of the principles of Matrix Theory including the basics of light cone quantization, the formulation of 11 dimensional M-Theory in terms of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, the origin of…
Discretization of supersymmetric theories is an old problem in lattice field theory. It has resisted solution until quite recently when new ideas drawn from orbifold constructions and topological field theory have been brought to bear on…
We introduce a $N_c\times N_c$ matrix model with $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetries and show its relation to the topological rigid string and the topological YM$_2$. This allows to connect the latter two theories directly. Moreover the…
Lattice discretization of the supersymmetric Yang-Mills quantum mechanics is dis cussed. First results of the quenched Monte Carlo simulations, for D=4 and with higher g auge groups (3 <= N <= 8), are presented. We confirm an earlier (N=2)…
We discuss the connection between Matrix string theory and the DLCQ of string theory. Using this connection we describe the sense in which perturbative string amplitudes are reproduced in the Matrix string theory. Using recent realization…
We report a sign that M(atrix) theory conjecture and the Maldacena conjecture for the case of D0-branes are compatible. Furthermore Maldacena point of view implies a restriction of range of validity in the DLCQ version of M(atrix) theory.…
The light-like linear dilaton background represents a particularly simple time-dependent 1/2 BPS solution of critical type IIA superstring theory in ten dimensions. Its lift to M-theory, as well as its Einstein frame metric, are singular in…
In 1+1 dimensions two different formulations exist of SU(N) Yang Mills theories in light-cone gauge; only one of them gives results which comply with the ones obtained in Feynman gauge. Moreover the theory, when considered in 1+(D-1)…
It has been proposed recently that, in the framework of M(atrix) theory, N=8 supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory in 1+1 dimensions gives rise to type IIA long string configurations. We point out that the quantum moduli space of…
Lattice discretization of the supersymmetric Yang-Mills quantum mechanics is reviewed and results of the Monte Carlo simulations of the simplified model are presented. The D=4, N=2, quenched system, studied at finite temperature, reveals…
The construction of effective field theories describing M-theory compactified on $S^1/{\bf Z}_2$ is revisited, and new insights into the parameters of the theory are explained. Particularly, the web of constraints which follow from…
I compare the matrix representation of the basic statements of Special Relativity with the conventional vector space representation. It is shown, that the matrix form reproduces all equations in a very concise and elegant form, namely:…
We study field theories in the limit that a compactified dimension becomes lightlike. In almost all cases the amplitudes at each order of perturbation theory diverge in the limit, due to strong interactions among the longitudinal zero…

A survey of the interrelationships between matrix models and field theories on the noncommutative torus is presented. The discretization of noncommutative gauge theory by twisted reduced models is described along with a rigorous definition…
