Notes on Matrix and Micro Strings
R. Dijkgraaf, E. Verlinde, H. Verlinde
We review some recent developments in the study of M-theory compactifications via Matrix theory. In particular we highlight the appearance of IIA strings and their interactions, an…
Duality symmetry of N=4 Yang-Mills theory on T^3
Feike Hacquebord, Herman Verlinde
We study the spectrum of BPS states in N=4 supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory. This theory has been proposed to describe M-theory on T^3 in the discrete light-cone formalism. We…
A Matrix String Interpretation of the Large N Loop Equation
H. Verlinde
The existence two S-dual descriptions of (N,1) string bound states suggests that the strong coupling behaviour of electric flux lines in large N 2D SYM theory has a dual descriptio…
5D Black Holes and Matrix Strings
R. Dijkgraaf, E. Verlinde, H. Verlinde
We derive the world-volume theory, the (non)-extremal entropy and background geometry of black holes and black strings constructed out of the NS IIA fivebrane within the framework…
Matrix String Theory
R. Dijkgraaf, E. Verlinde, H. Verlinde
Via compactification on a circle, the matrix model of M-theory proposed by Banks et al suggests a concrete identification between the large N limit of two-dimensional N=8 supersymm…
