Description
In this talk, I present a U-duality relation that connects the DLCQ of M-theory to nonrelativistic M-theory. The latter encompasses various other decoupling limits through torus compactifications, thereby establishing a novel web of dualities between matrix (gauge) theories, nonrelativistic string theory, spin matrix theory, and more. I will discuss the background geometries, the duality rules, and the physical interpretation of the decoupled theories. This web of dualities provides new insights into the BFSS conjecture and reveals previously unknown decoupling limits of M-theory. Z. Yan's talk naturally follows this presentation.
