Description
We discuss brane solutions in matrix models,
focusing on the IKKT model. The effective geometry of
the branes is
described, and the significance of fluctuations is clarified.
This
leads to nonabelian gauge fields, scalar fields and
fermions
propagating on the brane, governed by an effective
metric. The
emphasis is to demonstrate how all degrees of freedom
required for
physics may arise from the matrix model. The
quantization of the IKKT
model is briefly discussed
