This paper addresses several unsettled issues associated with string creation in systems of orthogonal Dp-D(8-p) branes. The interaction between the branes can be understood either from the closed string or open string picture. In the closed string picture it has been noted that the DBI action fails to capture an extra RR exchange between the branes. We demonstrate how this problem persists upon lifting to M-theory. These D-brane systems are analysed in the closed string picture by using gauge-fixed boundary states in a non-standard lightcone gauge, in which RR exchange can be analysed precisely. The missing piece in the DBI action also manifests itself in the open string picture as a mismatch between the Coleman-Weinberg potential obtained from the effective field theory and the corresponding open string calculation. We show that this difference can be reconciled by taking into account the superghosts in the (0+1)effective theory of the chiral fermion, that arises from gauge fixing the spontaneously broken world-line local supersymmetries.
Quantum cosmology, inflationary brane-world creation and dS/CFT correspondence
在经典和量子水平上讨论了粘在两个d5 de Sitter体上的4d de Sitter（暴胀）边界的产生（考虑了膜QFT通过相应的迹反常诱导的有效作用）.量子效应使经典的de Sitter膜半径减小或产生新的半径更小的de Sitter膜。重要的是，膜CFT可以被选择为与5d de Sitter体之一对偶，使得de Sitter膜世界与dS/CFT对应的显式关系。这样，引力在膜上的局部化就被显示出来了。移动（含时）deSitter膜在d5 SdS BH被认为是。在特殊的坐标系中，膜方程类似于量子修正的FRW方程，并与SAdS BH体中的类似膜方程进行了比较。
We study the dynamical Myers effect by allowing the fuzzy (or the dynamical dielectric brane) coordinates to be time dependent. We find three novel kinds of the dynamical spherical dielectric branes depending on their respective excess energies. The first represents a dynamical spherical brane carrying a negative excess energy (having a lower bound) with its radius oscillating periodically between two given non-zero values. The second is the one with zero excess energy and whose time dependence can be expressed in terms of a simple function. This particular dynamical spherical configuration re…
In this short note we formulate Covariant Hamiltonian formalism for strings, p-branes and Non-BPS Dp-branes. We also analyse the vacuum tachyon condensation in case of unstable D1-brane.
我们将两时间物理学的思想和形式从粒子动力学推广到弦和p-膜（p >= 1）动力学的一些具体例子。两次弦或p-膜作用量可以是规范固定的，以产生各种一次弦或p-膜作用量，这些作用量在规范变换下彼此对偶。我们讨论了对应于平坦（d-1）+1时空中的无张力弦和p-膜、平坦（d-1）+1时空中的刚性弦和p-膜以及在AdS_{d-n} x S^n背景中传播的无张力弦和p-膜的特殊规范。
We study dynamics of (m,n)-string in (p,q)-five brane and (p,q)-string background. We determine world-volume stress energy tensor and we analyze the dependence of the string's dynamics on the values of the charges (m,n) and the value of the angular momentum.
We study D-brane actions in non-relativistic string theory. We consider single D-brane and analyse its properties under T-duality. We also derive an action for N D8-branes and also for lower dimensional D-branes through T-duality transformations.
A ghost D-brane has been proposed as an object that cancels the effects of a D-branes. We construct a classical solution with an arbitrary number of D-branes and ghost D-branes in the context of open string field theory. Cancellation of BRST cohomolgy between D-branes and ghost D-branes is shown.
The compactness of the closed string in the classical Type II string theory reveals the duality, whereas the compactness of the open string reveals that the end of the string is on the hypersurface which satisfies the Dirichlet boundary condition.
It is well known that one-loop free energy of closed strings diverges above the Hagedorn temperature. One explanation for this divergence is that a `winding mode' in the Euclidean time direction becomes tachyonic above the Hagedorn temperature. The Hagedorn transition of closed strings has been proposed as a phase transition via condensation of this winding tachyon. However, we have not known the stable minimum of the potential of this winding tachyon so far. On the other hand, we have previously calculated the finite temperature effective potential of open strings on D-brane--anti-D-brane pai…
We construct non-relativistic string and p-brane actions in Newton-Cartan background using the limiting procedure from the relativistic string and p-brane action in general background. We also find their Hamiltonian formulations when however we restrict ourselves to the case of the vanishing gauge field.
