M-theory and U-duality on $T^{d}$ with gauge backgrounds

The full U-duality symmetry of toroidally compactified M-theory can be displayed by allowing non-rectangular tori with expectation values of the gauge fields. We derive the couplings in the Matrix gauge theory due to expectation values of the M-theory three-form C. An E_d(Z) U-duality invariant mass...

description The full U-duality symmetry of toroidally compactified M-theory can be displayed by allowing non-rectangular tori with expectation values of the gauge fields. We derive the couplings in the Matrix gauge theory due to expectation values of the M-theory three-form C. An E_d(Z) U-duality invariant mass formula incorporating nonvanishing gauge backgrounds is also obtained, and is found to agree with these couplings. We show that the conjectured extended U-duality symmetry of Matrix theory on T^d in the Discrete Light-Cone Quantization has an implementation as an action of E_{d+1}(Z) on the BPS spectrum. Some implications for the proper interpretation of the rank N of the Matrix gauge theory are discussed.
