A One Loop Problem of the Matrix Big Bang Model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-11 v4

Abstract

We compute the one-loop effective action of two D0-branes in the matrix model for a cosmological background, and find vanishing static potential. However, there is a non-vanishing v2v^2 term not predicted in a supergravity calculation. This term is complex and signals an instability of the two D0-brane system, it may also indicate that the matrix model is incorrect.
