Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss how a new kind of quantized geometry, the quantum Nambu geometry, arises in string theory. I will also describe its mathematical properties and demonstrate that the quantum Nambu geometry is intrinsically different from the ordinary Lie algebra type noncommutative geometry. I will also discuss a proposal for a matrix model description of M5-brane in a constant C-field.
