We consider the compactification of M theory on a lightlike circle as a limit of a compactification on a small spatial circle boosted by a large amount. Assuming that the compactification on a small spatial circle is weakly coupled type-IIA theory, we derive Susskind{close_quote}s conjecture that M theory compactified on a lightlike circle is given by the finite N version of the matrix model of Banks, Fischler, Shenker, and Susskind. This point of view provides a uniform derivation of the…

We propose a non-lattice simulation for studying supersymmetric matrix quantum mechanics in a non-perturbative manner. In particular, our method enables us to put M theory on a computer based on its
Matrix Models of M5-Branes

We study the large N limit of matrix models of M5-branes, or (2,0) sixdimensional superconformal field theories, by making use of the Bulk/Boundary correspondence. Our emphasis is on the relation

We compare the (0, 2) theory of the single M5 brane decoupled from gravity in the lightcone with transverse R, and a matrix model description in terms of quantum mechanics on instanton moduli space.
