Duality and Light Cone Symmetries of the Equations of Motion

Abstract

The matrix theory description of the discrete light cone quantization of $M$ theory on a $T^2$ is studied. In terms of its super Yang- Mills description, we identify symmetries of the equations of motion corresponding to independent rescalings of one of the world sheet light cone coordinates, which show how the $S$ duality of Type IIB string theory is realized as a Nahm-type transformation. In the $M$ theory description this corresponds to a simple $9-11$ flip.
