  The interaction between static D0-branes at finite temperature is considered
in the matrix theory and the superstring theory. The results agree in both
cases to the leading order in the supersymmetry violation by temperature, where
the one-loop approximation is reliable. The effective static potential is
short-ranged and attractive.

Elementary Particles, Buckow, Germany, September 1-5, 1998.
