We show that the only BPS bound states of wrapped membranes that can form are roots of the $A$-$D$-$E$ group. We determine a bound on the energy of a bound state and find the correct dependence on the blow-up parameters and longitudinal momentum expected from M-Theory. For the $A_{n-1}$ series, we construct explicit classical solutions for the wrapped membrane bound states. These states have a very rich structure and have a natural interpretation in terms of noncommutative geometry. In the $A_1$ case, we examine the spectrum of excitations around the wrapped membrane solution and provide an explicit calculation of their energies. The results agree exactly with supergravity calculations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-03-05T20:56:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "matrix theory", "ale spaces", "bps bound states", "wrapped membrane bound states", "construct explicit classical solutions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
