Abstract
We discuss the connection between Matrix string theory and the DLCQ of string theory. Using this connection we describe the sense in which p erturbative string amplitudes are reproduced in the Matrix string theo ry. Using recent realization of the connection between SYM and Supergr avity, we suggest how to describe Matrix theory with non-flat backgrou nds. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
