On matrix description of D-branes
Abstract
We study the low energy dynamics of a single Dp-brane carrying sufcient large number of D0-brane charges in type IIA theory. We assume the D-brane topology to be R × M2n , where M2n is a closed manifold admitting a symplectic structure. We propose a new gauge fixing condition which eliminates the spatial gauge fluctuations on the Dp-brane. Using a conventional regularization method, one finds that the dynamics is characterized by D0-brane matrix description when the density of D0-branes is large enough. We also calculate the leading order interactions between two D2-branes carrying both electric and magnetic fluxes in matrix theory.
