We show a possibility that the matrix models recently proposed to explain (almost) all the physics of M-theory may include the superstring theories that we know perturbatively. The ``1st quantized'' physical system of one IIA string seems to be an exact consequence of M(atrix) theory with a proper mechanism to mod out a symmetry. The central point of the paper is the representation of strings with P^+/epsilon greater than one. I call the mechanism ``screwing strings to matrices''. I also give the first versions of the proof of 2/3 power law between the compactification radius and the coupling constant in this formulation. Multistring states are involved in a M(atrix) theory fashion, replacing the 2nd quantization that I briefly review. We shortly discuss the T-dualities, type I string theory and involving of FP ghosts to all the systems including the original one of Banks et al.

  1. Wilson coefficients from a non-renormalization theorem in 2D SYM

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Non-renormalization in UV 2D SYM fixes the Wilson coefficient of the DVV operator in the IR orbifold CFT, consistent with matrix string theory.

  2. A Matrix Theory Construction of the IIA/IIB Wall

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    A lightlike IIA/IIB domain wall is constructed at zero string coupling by gauging (−1)^{F_L} in matrix string theory, turning BPS IIA D0-branes into non-BPS IIB D0-branes.

  3. Worldsheet Formalism for Decoupling Limits in String Theory

    hep-th 2023-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Develops worldsheet sigma model for fundamental strings in critical type IIA limit showing nodal singularities and derives T-duality web unifying decoupling limits including ambitwistor and Carrollian strings.
