We study a matrix model with a cubic term, which incorporates both the fuzzy S^2*S^2 and the fuzzy S^2 as classical solutions. Both of the solutions decay into the vacuum of the pure Yang-Mills model (even in the large-N limit) when the coefficien...
It has been known for some time that the dynamics of k coincident D-branes in string theory is described effectively by U(k) Yang-Mills theory at low energy. While these configurations appear as classical solutions in matrix models, it was not cle...
