We conjecture that the discrete light-cone quantization (DLCQ) of strings on the maximally supersymmetric type IIB plane-wave background in the sector with J units of light-cone momentum is a supersymmetric 0+1 dimensional U(J) gauge theory (quantum mechanics) with PSU(2|2) × PSU(2|2) × U(1) superalgebra. The conjectured hamiltonian for the plane-wave matrix (string) theory, the tiny graviton matrix theory, is the quantized (regularized) three brane action on the same background. We present some pieces of evidence for this conjecture through analysis of the hamiltonian , its vacua, spectrum and coupling constant. Moreover, we discuss an extension of our conjecture to the DLCQ of type IIB strings on AdS5 × S5 geometry.

A Massive Study of M2-brane Proposals (2008, result): “The presence of such terms would mean that the mass-deformation does (14)We should note that there is actually a third proposal [36] for the DLCQ of the Type IIB plane-wave (see also [37]), in which the counting of vacua is exactly the same as we have found in ABJM.”
The dS/dS Correspondence (2004, background): “In the AdS case, there are several versions of the correspondence pertaining to different patches of the space (the Poincare patch being dual to CFT on Minkowski space, the global AdS being dual to CFT on S(3) × IR, and the plane wave limit being dual to a quantum mechanical theory [49]).”
