D-instantons and Matrix Models

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v5

Abstract

We discuss the Matrix Model aspect of configurations saturating a fixed number of fermionic zero modes. This number is independent of the rank of the gauge group and the instanton number. This will allow us to define a large-NcN_c limit of the embeddeding of KK D-instantons in the Matrix Model and make contact with the leading term (the measure factor) of the supergravity computations of D-instanton effects. We show that the connection between these two approaches is done through the Abelian modes of the Matrix variables.
