Abstract
We present a general framework for matrix theory compactified on a quotient space (Formula presented) with Γ a discrete group of Euclidean motions in (Formula presented) The general solution to the quotient conditions gives a gauge theory on a noncommutative space. We characterize the resulting noncommutative gauge theory in terms of the twisted group algebra of Γ associated with a projective regular representation. Also we show how to extend our treatments to incorporate orientifolds. © 1998 The American Physical Society.
