F and M Theories as Gauge Theories of Area Preserving Algebra
arXiv:hep-th/9708029
Abstract
F theory and M theory are formulated as gauge theories of area preserving diffeomorphism algebra. Our M theory is shown to be 1-brane formulation rather than 0-brane formulation of M theory of Banks, Fischler, Shenker and Susskind and the F theory is shown to be 1-brane formulation rather than -1-brane formulation of type IIB matrix theory of Ishibashi, Kawai, Kitazawa and Tsuchiya.
