Abstract

We study the motion of a D(8-p)-brane probe in the background created by a stack of non-threshold (D(p-2), Dp) bound states for 2p62\le p\le 6. The brane probe and the branes of the background have two common directions. We show that for a particular value of the worldvolume gauge field there exist configurations of the probe brane which behave as massless particles and can be interpreted as gravitons blown up into a fuzzy sphere and a noncommutative plane. We check this behaviour by studying the motion and energy of the brane and by determining how supersymmetry is broken by the probe as it moves under the action of the background.
