ABSTRACT In a previous paper hep-th/0410182 we constructed wave functions and vertex operators for massless supergravity fields in type IIB matrix model by expanding supersymmetric Wilson line operators. In this paper we consider fermionic backgrounds and condensation of supergravity fields in IIB matrix model by using these wave functions. We start from the type IIB matrix model in a flat background whose matrix size is $(N+1) \times (N+1)$, or equivalently the effective action for $(N+1)$ D-instantons. We then calculate an effective action for $N$ D-instantons by integrating out one D-instanton (which we call a mean-field D-instanton) with an appropriate wave function and show that various terms can be induced corresponding to the choice of the wave functions. In particular, a Chern-Simons-like term is induced when the mean-field D-instanton has a wave function of the antisymmetric tensor field. A fuzzy sphere becomes a classical solution to the equation of motion for the effective action. We also give an interpretation of the above wave functions from the string theory side as overlaps of the D-instanton boundary state with closed string massless states in the Green-Schwarz formalism.

• ##### Article: Symmetries and transformations of chiral N = 2, D = 10 supergravity
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An SU(1,1) symmetry is identified in chiral N = 2, D = 10 supergravity. Complete supersymmetry transformation formulas are obtained for each of the fields in the theory in a covariant formalism with manifest global SU(1,1) and local U(1) symmetries.

##### Article: Wilson Loops and Vertex Operators in Matrix Model
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We systematically construct wave functions and vertex operators in the type IIB (IKKT) matrix model by expanding a supersymmetric Wilson loop operator. They form a massless multiplet of the N=2 type IIB supergravity and automatically satisfy conservation laws.

##### Article: Multiple D0-branes in weakly curved backgrounds
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigate further our recent proposal for the form of the matrix theory action in weak background fields. Using Seiberg's scaling argument we relate the matrix theory action to a low-energy system of many D0-branes in an arbitrary but weak NS-NS and R-R background. The resulting multiple D0-brane action agrees with the known Born-Infeld action in the case of a single brane and gives an explicit formulation of many additional terms which appear in the multiple brane action. The linear coupling to an arbitrary background metric satisfies the non-trivial consistency condition suggested by Douglas that the masses of off-diagonal fields are given by the geodesic distance between the corresponding pair of D0-branes. This agreement arises from combinatorial factors which depend upon the symmetrized trace ordering prescription found earlier for higher moments of the matrix theory stress-energy tensor. We study the effect of a weak background metric on two graviton interactions and find that our formalism agrees with the results expected from supergravity. The results presented here can be T-dualized to give explicit formulae for the operators in any D-brane world-volume theory which couple linearly to bulk gravitational fields and their derivatives.
