General covariance of the non-abelian DBI-action: Checks and Balances
Jan de Boer, Koenraad Schalm, Jeroen Wijnhout
We perform three tests on our proposal to implement diffeomorphism invariance in the non-abelian D0-brane DBI action as a basepoint independence constraint between matrix Riemann n…

Factorization of Seiberg-Witten Curves and Compactification to Three Dimensions
Rutger Boels, Jan de Boer, Robert Duivenvoorden +1
We continue our study of nonperturbative superpotentials of four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories with gauge group U(N) on R^3 x S^1, broken to N=1 due to a classical…

Evidence for a gravitational Myers effect
Jan de Boer, Eric Gimon, Koenraad Schalm +1
An indication for the existence of a collective Myers solution in the non-abelian D0-brane Born-Infeld action is the presence of a tachyonic mode in fluctuations around the standar…
