Notes on the construction of the D2-brane from multiple D0-branes Original Research Article

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 non-Abelian 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 continuous limit, the effective actions for the fuzzy D0-branes precisely coincide with those for the single D2-brane if both the fuzziness of the D0-brane and the area occupied per a unit of magnetic flux on the D2-brane are equal to (2πℓs)2.
