Tachyons, Supertubes and Brane/Anti-Brane Systems

چکیده
We find supertubes with arbitrary (and not necessarily planar) cross-section; the stability against the D2-brane tension is due to a compensation by the local momentum generated by Born-Infeld fields. Stability against long-range supergravity forces is also established. We find the corresponding solutions of the N = ∞ M(atrix) model. The supersymmetric D2/D2 system is a special case of the general supertube, and we show that there are no open-string tachyons in this system via a computation of the open-string one-loop vacuum energy.

Supertubes in Matrix model and DBI action
We show the equivalence between the supertube solutions with an arbitrary cross section in two different actions, the DBI action for the D2-brane and the matrix model action for the D0-branes. More precisely, the equivalence between the supertubes in the D2-brane picture and the D0-brane picture is shown in the boundary state formalism which is valid for all order in α′. This is an application ...
متن کاملSupertubes connecting D4 branes
We find and explore a class of dyonic instanton solutions which can be identified as the supertubes connecting two D4 branes. They correspond to a single monopole string and a pair of monopole-antimonopole strings from the worldvolume view point of D4 branes. 1 Introduction Recently there has been a considerable study of the so called supertube solutions. Originally Mateos and Townsend construc...
متن کاملM-theory lift of brane-antibrane systems and localised closed string tachyons
We discuss the lift of certain D6-antiD6-brane systems to M-theory. These are purely gravitational configurations with a bolt singularity. When reduced along a trivial circle, and for large bolt radius, the bolt is related to a nonsupersymmetric orbifold type of singularity where some closed string tachyons are expected in the twisted sectors. This is a kind of open-closed string duality that r...
متن کاملFrom D-D Pairs to Branes in Motion
We investigate various supersymmetric brane intersections. Motivated by the recent results on supertubes, we investigate general constraints in which parallel brane-antibrane configurations are supersymmetric. Dual descriptions of these configurations involve systems of intersecting branes in relative motion. In particular, we find new supersymmetric configurations which are not related to a st...
متن کاملGhost Tachyon Condensation, Brane-like States and Extra Time Dimension
NSR superstring theory contains a tower of physical vertex operators (brane-like states) which exist at non-zero pictures only, i.e. are essentially mixed with superconformal ghosts. Some of these states are massless, they are responsible for creating D-branes. Other states are tachyonic (called ghost tachyons) creating a problem for the vacuum stability of the NSR model. In this paper we explo...
