Random lattice strings vs. type IIB matrix models

Abstract

I comment on a curious relation between Siegel's model of random lattice strings and type IIB matrix model. The comparison of the two theories suggests that there may exist extra terms in the latter which are overlooked in the weak string coupling limit.
