Maxwell Theory from Matrix Model
  We present a scenario for deriving Maxwell theory from IIB matrix model. Four dimensional spacetime and theories on it relate different dimensional ones by applying appropriate limits of the backgrounds of matrix model. It is understood by looking at open strings bits as bi-local fields on the spacetime, which are decoupled from the bulk in the limits. The origin of electric-magnetic duality is also discussed in matrix model.
