Supermembranes and M(atrix) Theory
Hermann Nicolai, Robert Helling (AEI)
TL;DR
This paper reviews the D=11 supermembrane and supersymmetric matrix models, highlighting their role in non-perturbative string theory and recent developments in the field.
Contribution
It provides an introductory overview of supermembranes and matrix models, connecting them to advances in non-perturbative string theory.
Findings
Supermembranes are fundamental objects in M-theory.
Supersymmetric matrix models offer a non-perturbative formulation of string theory.
Recent developments link these models to broader non-perturbative frameworks.
Abstract
In these lectures, we review the D=11 supermembrane and supersymmetric matrix models at an introductory level. We also discuss some more recent developments in connection with non-perturbative string theory.
