Matrix Description of M-theory on $T^6$

TL;DR

New insights into M-theory compactification mechanisms

Abstract

We give some evidence that the worldvolume theory of the M-theory KK 6-brane is governed by a non-critical membrane theory. We use this theory to give a matrix description of M-theory on $T^6$.
