Abstract
We discuss the proposed description of configurations with four-branes and six-branes in M(atrix) theory. Computing the velocity dependent p otential between these configurations and gravitons and membranes, we show that they agree with the short distance string results computed i n type IIA string theory. Due to the ''closeness'' of these configurat ion to a supersymmetric configuration the M(atrix) theory reproduces t he correct long distance behavior. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
