Boundary state of multiple D0-branes and closed string coupling

Abstract

In this paper we study a boundary state of multiple D0-branes with spacetime dependent scalar fields in the α' expansion. We calculate a formulas for non-Abelian boundary state defined by using a Wilson loop factor and path ordering. The boundary state contains divergences which vanish when the scalar fields on D0-branes satisfy the equation of motion. Hence the boundary state is well-defined if the configuration of D0-branes in on-shell. We can show the constructed boundary state is BRST invariant. From the constructed boundary state we extract couplings of the scalar fields to closed string fields. Our results reproduce the correct formulas for supergravity current distribution obtained from the disk amplitudes, Matrix theory potential, non-Abelian DBI action. Our calculations are performed up to order {α'}^2 both in the bosonic string and the IIA superstring theory. Furthermore we confirm that our boundary state is identical to the correct one in the case of a single boosted D0-brane and a noncommutative D2-brane. These results support the correctness of the formulas for non-Abelian boundary states.
