Abstract: We consider actions for N D-branes at points in a general Kahler manifold, which satisfy the axioms of D-geometry, and could be used as starting points for defining Matrix theory in curved space. We show that the axioms cannot be satisfied unless the metric is Ricci flat, and argue that such actions do exist when the metric is Ricci flat. This may provide an argument for Ricci flatness in Matrix theory.

Review text

The authors consider actions for \(N\) \(D\)-branes at points in a general Kähler manifold, which satisfy the axioms of \(D\)-geometry, and could be used as starting points for defining M(atrix)-theory in curved space. They show that the axioms cannot be satisfied unless the target space is Ricci-flat, and give strong evidence that there exists a solution when it is Ricci-flat.
