Abstract

Description

Based on the non-abelian effective action for D1-branes, a new action for matrix string theory in non-trivial backgrounds is proposed. Once the background fields are included, new interactions bring the possibility of non-commutative solutions i.e. The Myers effect for ``string bits'' .
