Eleven-dimensional massless superparticles and matrix theory spin-orbit couplings revisited

arXiv:hep-th/9901152 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.60.084024

Abstract

The classical probe dynamics of the eleven-dimensional massless superparticles in the background geometry produced by N source M-momenta is investigated in the framework of N-sector DLCQ supergravity. We expand the probe action up to the two fermion terms and find that the fermionic contributions are the spin-orbit couplings, which precisely agree with the matrix theory calculations. We comment on the lack of non-perturbative corrections in the one-loop matrix quantum mechanics effective action and its compatibility with the supergravity analysis.
