Dynamics of multiple Kaluza-Klein monopoles in \(M\)-theory and string theory
The author analyses the world-volume theory of multiple Kaluza-Klein monopoles in string and \(M\)-theory, for both separated and coincident monopoles. The dynamics of such monopoles is found to be consistent with all conjectured duality symmetries and gives a new realization of the \((2,0)\) supersymmetric theory in \((5+1)\) dimensions. There are investigated the limits when the theory might be relevant for describing \(M\)(atrix) theory on \(T^4\) and \(T^5.\) It is shown that the dynamics of \(N\) Kaluza-Klein monopoles in heterotic string theory is related with that of \(N\) BPS monopoles in \(SU(2)\) gauge theory if a connection between a \((1,0)\) supersymmetric field theory in \((5+1)\) dimensions and the moduli space of gauge theory is considered.
