PROPERTIES OF D-BRANES IN MATRIX MODEL OF IIB SUPERSTRING

We discuss the properties of D-brane configurations in the matrix mode l of the type IIB superstring recently proposed by Ishibashi, Kawai, K itazawa and Tsuchiya. We calculate the central charges in the supersym metry algebra at infinite N and associate them with one- and five-bran es present in IIB superstring theory. We consider classical solutions associated with static three- and five-branes and calculate their inte ractions at one loop in the matrix model. We discuss some aspects of t he matrix-model formulation of the IIB superstring. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
