Non-commutative gauge theory on fuzzy sphere was obtained by Alekseev et al.<br />
as describing the low energy dynamics of a spherical D2-brane in S^3 with the<br />
background b-field. We identify a subset of solutions of this theory which are<br />
analogs of ``unstable&#039;&#039; solitons on a non-commutative flat D2-brane found by<br />
Gopakumar et al. Analogously to the flat case, these solutions have the<br />
interpretation as describing D0-branes ``not yet dissolved&#039;&#039; by the D2-brane.<br />
We confirm this interpretation by showing the precise agreement of the binding<br />
energy computed in the non-commutative and ordinary Born-...
