Enhanced Gauge Symmetry in M(atrix) Theory
Michael R. Douglas
Abstract
We discuss the origin of enhanced gauge symmetry in ALE (and K3) compactification of M theory, either defined as the strong coupling limit of the type IIa superstring, or as defined by Banks et al. In the D-brane formalism, wrapped membranes are D0 branes with twisted string boundary conditions, and appear on the same footing with the Kaluza-Klein excitations of the gauge bosons. In M(atrix) theory, the construction appears to work for arbitrary ALE metric.
