The QCD \(M\) embrane
The spatially quenched \(SU(N)\) Yang-Mills theory is studied in the large-\(N \) limit. The resulting reduced action shows the same formal structure as the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind \(M\)-theory action. The Weyl-Wigner-Moyal symbol of this matrix model is the Moyal deformation of a \(p\)(=2)-brane action. The large-\(N\) limit of the spatially quenched \(SU(N) \) Yang-Mills action is proposed to describe a dynamical membrane. By assuming spherical symmetry the mass spectrum of this object in the WKB approximation is computed.
