Abstract

We calculate the metric on the D-brane vacuum moduli space for backgrounds of the form C3/Gamma for cyclic groups Gamma. In the simplest procedure --- starting with a flat ``seed'' metric on the covering space --- we find that the resulting D-brane metric is not Ricci-flat. We argue that this is likely to be true of the true 0-brane metric at weak string coupling.
