Abstract
We describe the structure of string vacuum states in the supersymmetric matrix model for M theory compactified on a circle in the large- N limit. We show that the theory admits topological instanton field configurations which at short-distance scales reduce to ordinary Yang-Mills instantons that interpolate between degenerate vacua of the theory. We show that there exists further classes of hadronic strings associated with the D-string super-fields. We discuss the relationships between these non-perturbative string states and rigid QCD strings, critical strings, and membrane states.
