M (atrix) theory: Matrix quantum mechanics as a fundamental theory
W Taylor - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2001 - APS
This article reviews the matrix model of M theory. M theory is an 11-dimensional quantum
theory of gravity that is believed to underlie all superstring theories. M theory is currently the …

Matrix Theory Reloaded: A BPS Road to Holography
We revisit the decoupling limits that lead to matrix theories on D-branes. We highlight the
BPS nature of these limits, in which the target space geometry becomes non-Lorentzian and …

Anisotropic compactification of nonrelativistic M-theory
A bstract We study a decoupling limit of M-theory where the three-form gauge potential
becomes critical. This limit leads to nonrelativistic M-theory coupled to a non-Lorentzian …
