M(atrix) theory on T6 and a m(atrix) theory description of KK monopoles

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We discuss M(atrix) theory compactification on T6. This theory is described by the large N limit of the world-volume theory, of N Kaluza-Klein monopoles in eleven dimensions. We discuss the BPS states, and their arrangement in E6 multiplets. We then propose the formulation of the world-volume theory of KK monopoles in eleven dimensions that decouples from the bulk. This is given by a large N1 m(atrix) theory with eight supercharges, corresponding to the quantum mechanics theory of N1 zero-branes inside the Type IIA Kaluza-Klein monopole. Various limits of the construction are considered.
