On Higher Dimensional Fuzzy Spherical Branes
نویسنده
چکیده
Matrix descriptions of higher dimensional spherical branes are investigated. It is known that a fuzzy 2k-sphere is described by the coset space SO(2k+1)/U(k) and has some extra dimensions. It is shown that a fuzzy 2k-sphere is comprised of n k(k−1) 2 spherical D(2k − 1)-branes and has a fuzzy 2(k − 1)-sphere at each point. We can understand the relationship between these two viewpoints by the dielectric effect. Contraction of the algebra is also discussed.

Nonabelian gauge field and dual description of fuzzy sphere
In matrix models, higher dimensional D-branes are obtained by imposing a noncommutative relation to coordinates of lower dimensional D-branes. On the other hand, a dual description of this noncommutative space is provided by higher dimensional D-branes with gauge fields. Fuzzy spheres can appear as a configuration of lower dimensional D-branes in a constant R-R field strength background. In thi...
متن کاملHigher Dimensional Geometries from Matrix Brane Constructions
Matrix descriptions of even dimensional fuzzy spherical branes S in Matrix Theory and other contexts in Type II superstring theory reveal, in the large N limit, higher dimensional geometries SO(2k+1)/U(k), which have an interesting spectrum of SO(2k+1) harmonics and can be up to 20 dimensional, while the spheres are restricted to be of dimension less than 10. In the case k = 2, the matrix descr...
متن کاملThe shape of nonabelian D-branes
We evaluate bulk distribution of energies, pressures and various Dbrane/F-string charges generated by nontrivial matrix configurations in nonabelian D-brane effective field theories, using supergravity source density formulas derived originally in Matrix theory. Off-diagonal elements of worldvolume nonabelian fields, especially transverse scalar fields, induce various interesting bulk structure...
متن کاملFormation of Spherical D2-brane from Multiple D0-branes
We study D-branes in SU(2) WZW model by means of the boundary state techniques. We realize the “fuzzy sphere” configuration of multiple D0-branes as the boundary state with the insertion of suitable Wilson line. By making use of the path-integral representation we show that this boundary state preserves the appropriate boundary conditions and leads to the Cardy state describing a spherical D2-b...
متن کاملNotes on the Construction of the D2-brane from Multiple D0-branes
We investigate the correspondence between the D2-brane, which is described by the abelian Born-Infeld action, and multiple D0-branes, which are done by the nonabelian Born-Infeld action. We construct effective actions for the fuzzy cylinder, sphere and plane formed via D0-branes and compare these actions with those for the cylindrical, spherical and planar D2-brane. We show that in the continuo...
