dc.descriptionM(atrix) theory description is investigated for M-theory compactified on non-orientable manifolds. Relevant M(atrix) theory is obtained by Fourier transformation in a way consistent with T-duality. For nine-dimensional compactification on Klein bottle and Möbius strip, we show that M(atrix) theory is (2+1)-dimensional ${\cal N} = 8$ supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory defined on dual Klein bottle and dual Moebius strip parameter space respectively. The latter requires a twisted sector consisting of sixteen chiral fermions localized parallel to the boundary of dual Moebius strip and defines Narain moduli space of Chaudhuri-Hockney-Lykken heterotic string. For six-dimensional CHL compactification on S1/Z2*T4 we show that low-energy dynamics of M(atrix) theory is described by (5+1)-dimensional ${\cal N} = 8$ supersymmetric U(N)$\times$U(N) gauge theory defined on dual orbifold parameter space of S1*K3/Z2. Spacetime spectrum is deduced from BPS gauge field configurations consistent with respective involutions and is shown to agree with results from M-theory analysis.
