Spacelike and Time Dependent Branes from DBI
نویسنده
چکیده
Spacelike branes are new time-dependent systems to explore and it has been observed that related supergravity solutions can be obtained by analytically continuing known D-brane solutions. Here we show that analytic continuation of known solutions of the Dirac-Born-Infeld equations also lead to interesting analogs of time dependent gravity solutions. Properties of these new solutions, which are similar to the Witten bubble of nothing and S-branes, are discussed. We comment on how these new bubble solutions seem relevant to the tachyon condensation process of non-BPS branes, and remark on their application to cosmological scenarios. Unstable brane configurations which resemble S-brane type solutions are also discussed. ∗[email protected]

On Time-dependent Collapsing Branes and Fuzzy Odd-dimensional Spheres
We study the time-dependent dynamics of a collection of N collapsing/expanding D0-branes in type IIA String Theory. We show that the fuzzy-S and S provide time-dependent solutions to the Matrix Model of D0-branes and its DBI generalisation. Some intriguing cancellations in the calculation of the non-abelian DBI Matrix actions result in the fuzzyS and S having the same dynamics at large-N . For ...
متن کاملNon-Singular Solutions for S-branes
Exact, non-singular, time-dependent solutions of Maxwell-Einstein gravity with and without dilatons are constructed by double Wick rotating a variety of static, axisymmetric solutions. This procedure transforms arrays of charged or neutral black holes into s-brane (spacelike brane) solutions, i.e. extended, short-lived spacelike defects. Along the way, new static solutions corresponding to arra...
متن کاملSpacelike Branes
Scalar field theories with appropriate potentials in Minkowski space can have timedependent classical solutions containing topological defects which correspond to S-branes i.e. branes all of whose tangential dimensions are spacelike. It is argued that such Sbranes arise in string theory as time-dependent solutions of the worldvolume tachyon field of an unstable D-brane or D-brane-anti-D-brane p...
متن کاملFinite N effects on the collapse of fuzzy spheres
Finite N effects on the time evolution of fuzzy 2-spheres moving in flat spacetime are studied using the non-Abelian DBI action for N D0-branes. Constancy of the speed of light leads to a definition of the physical radius in terms of symmetrised traces of large powers of Lie algebra generators. These traces, which determine the dynamics at finite N , have a surprisingly simple form. The energy ...
متن کاملBirth of Closed Strings and Death of Open Strings during Tachyon Condensation
The tremendous progress achieved through the study of black holes and branes suggests that their time dependent generalizations called Spacelike branes (S-branes) may prove similarly useful. An example of an established approach to S-branes is to include a string boundary interaction and we first summarize evidence for the death of open string degrees of freedom for the homogeneous rolling tach...
