M(atrix) Theory on T5/Z2 Orbifold and Five-Branes
arXiv:hep-th/9705132 · doi:10.1016/S0550-3213(98)00573-2
Abstract
We study M(atrix) theory description of M theory compactified on T5/Z2 orbifold. In the large volume limit we show that M theory dynamics is described by N=8 supersymmetric USp(2N) M(atrix) quantum mechanics. Via zero-brane parton scattering, we show that each orbifold fixed point carries anomalous G-flux . To cancel the anomalous G-flux, we introduce twisted sector consisting of sixteen five-branes represented by fundamental representation hypermultiplets. In the small volume limit we show that M theory dynamics is described by by (5+1)-dimensional (8,0) supersymmetric USp(2N) chiral gauge theory. We point out that both perturbative and global gauge anomalies are cancelled by the sixteen fundamental representation hyper- multiplets in the twisted sector. We show that M(atrix) theory is capable of turning on spacetime background with the required sixteen five-branes out of zero-brane partons as bound-states. We determine six-dimensional spacetime spectrum from the M(atrix) theory for both untwisted and twisted sectors and find a complete agreement with the spectrum of (2,0) supergravity. We discuss M(atrix) theory description of compactification moduli space, symmetry enhance- ment thereof as well as further toroidal compactifications.
