Title: Covariantized M(atrix) theory for D-particles
Abstract: The so-called BFSS M(atrix) theory for D-particles, proposed in 1996, has been the only known workable proposal towards concrete formulation of M theory, whose existence in 11 dimensional spacetime is conjectured to be a key feature in still-unknown non-perturbative definitions of string/M theory.
However, its formulation has been restricted in a special light-front gauge. Whether and how the M(atrix) theory could be made fully Lorentz covariant in the sense of 11 dimensional Minkowski spacetime has long been one of the important unresolved issues in string/M theory. In this lecture, I discuss a possible resolution of this problem on the basis of my recent work.
