Strings and branes are waves
We examine the equations of motion of double field theory and the duality manifest form of M-theory. We show the solutions of the equations of motion corresponding to null waves correspond to strings or membranes from the usual spacetime perspective. A Goldstone mode analysis of the null wave solution in double field theory produces the equations of motion of the duality manifest string.
متن کاملWorldvolume supersymmetries for branes in plane waves
We study the worldvolume supersymmetries of M2 branes in the maximally supersymmetric plane wave background of M theory. For certain embeddings the standard probe analysis indicates that the worldvolume theory has less than 16 supersymmetries. We show that at the quadratic level the worldvolume theory admits additional linearly realized supersymmetries, and that the spectra of the branes are or...
متن کاملD-branes in a plane wave from covariant open strings
We derive boundary conditions for the covariant open string corresponding to D-branes in an Hpp-wave, by requiring kappa symmetry of its bulk action. Both half-supersymmetric and quarter-supersymmetric branes are seen to arise in this way, and the analysis furthermore agrees fully with the existing probe brane and supergravity computations. We elaborate on the origin of dynamical and kinematica...

متن کاملHorizon Branes and Chiral Strings
String Theory is known to be one possible model to unify all the known forces of the Nature by a universal concept, that of strings. All fundamental particles, including gravitons with a given energy, are supposed to be oscillating states of tensive open or closed strings. The string concept introduces some non-locality in the gravitational interactions, making the self-interacting Feynman diag...
