A Large-N Reduced Model as Superstring

arXiv:hep-th/9612115 · doi:10.1016/S0550-3213(97)00290-3

Abstract

A matrix model which has the manifest ten-dimensional N=2 super Poincare invariance is proposed. Interactions between BPS-saturated states are analyzed to show that massless spectrum is the same as that of type IIB string theory. It is conjectured that the large-N reduced model of ten-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory can be regarded as a constructive definition of this model and therefore is equivalent to superstring theory.
