Note on M(atrix) theory in seven dimensions with eight supercharges
- Physikalisches Institut der Universitaet Bonn, Nussallee 12, D-53115 Bonn (Germany)
We consider M(atrix) theory compactifications to seven dimensions with eight unbroken supersymmetries. We conjecture that both M(atrix) theory on K3 and heterotic M(atrix) theory on T{sup 3} are described by the same (5+1)-dimensional theory with N=2 supersymmetry broken to N=1 by the orbifold projection. The emergence of the extra dimension follows from a recent result of Rozali [Phys. Lett. B {bold 400}, 260 (1997)]. We show that the seven-dimensional duality between M theory on K3 and heterotic string theory on T{sup 3} is realized in M(atrix) theory as the exchange of one of the dimensions with this new dimension. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
