Matrix strings in weakly curved background fields
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the form of the Matrix theory action in weak background fields, and showed that the matrix sigma model gives a definite prescription on how to deal with RR fields with explicit spacetime dependence in Type II string theory.

Going down from a 3-form in 16 dimensions
TL;DR: The SO(8)×SO(7)⊂SO(16) invariant self-duality equation for a 3-form in 16 dimensions was shown in this paper.

On symmetry reductions of topological/cohomological Yang-Mills theories
J. Lachapelle,M. Legare +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that cohomological quantum field theories associated with the Nahm equations can be derived from the Donaldson-Witten theory by a symmetry reduction with respect to a three-dimensional Abelian group.
Book ChapterDOI
From Topological Field Theories to Covariant Matrix Strings
TL;DR: A topological quantum field theory as a twisted candidate to formulate covariant matrix strings and (partially twisted) W-gravity as an “extended” 2d-gravity sector is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Going down from a 3-form in 16 dimensions
TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of a self-duality equation for a 3-form in 16-dimensional manifold with holonomy group smaller than or equal to Spin(7), with a gauge symmetry that is SO(8) or SO(7).

M theory as a matrix model: A conjecture
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the membrane states required by the supersymmetric matrix quantum mechanics are contained as excitations of the matrix model, which is a non-perturbative realization of the holographic principle.
Journal ArticleDOI
String theory dynamics in various dimensions
TL;DR: The strong coupling dynamics of string theories in dimension d ⩾ 4 are studied in this paper, where it is argued that eleven-dimensional supergravity arises as a low energy limit of the ten-dimensional Type IIA superstring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topological quantum field theory
TL;DR: A twisted version of four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory is formulated in this paper, which refines a nonrelativistic treatment by Atiyah and appears to underlie many recent developments in topology of low dimensional manifolds; the Donaldson polynomial invariants of four manifolds and the Floer groups of three manifolds appear naturally.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Large N reduced model as superstring
TL;DR: In this article, a matrix model which has the manifest ten-dimensional N = 2 super Poincare invariance is proposed, and interactions between BPS-saturated states are analyzed to show that the massless spectrum is the same as that of type IIB string theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix string theory
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the perturbative string states and their interactions, and describe the appearance of D-particle and D-membrane states, and present evidence that supports their identification.
