Abstract

A unitary matrix model is proposed as the large-N matrix formulation of M theory on flat space with toroidal topology. The model reproduces the motion of elementary D-particles on the compact space, and admits membrane states with nonzero wrapping around nontrivial 2-tori even at finite N.
