We give arguments in the support of a relation between M-atrix theory and M
aldacena's conjecture. M-atrix theory conjecture implies the equivalence of
11-D light-cone supergravity and strongly-coupled (0 + 1)-D SYM. Maldacena
's SUGRA/SYM duality conjecture implies, in the one dimensional SYM case, t
he equivalence between strongly-coupled (0 + 1)-D SYM and 11-D supergravity
compactified on a spatial circle in the formal Seiberg-Sen limit. Using th
e classical equivalence between 11-D supergravity on a light-like circle an
d on a spatial circle in the formal Seiberg-Sen limit, we argue that in the
(0 + 1)-D SYM case, the large-N M-atrix theory in the supergravity regime
is equivalent to SUGRA/SYM duality. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science
