The Principle of Least Action and the Geometric Basis of D-branes
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze thoroughly the boundary conditions allowed in classical non-linear sigma models and derive from first principle the corresponding geometric objects, i.e. D-branes. In addition to giving classical D-branes an intrinsic and geometric foundation, D-branes in nontrivial H flux and D-branes embedded within D-branes are precisely defined. A well known topological condition on D-branes is replaced.

GENERALIZED ACTION PRINCIPLE and SUPERFIELD EQUATIONS OF MOTION for D=10 D–p–BRANES
The action for the D = 10 type II Dirichlet super–p–branes, which has been obtained recently, is reconstructed in a more geometrical form involving Lorentz harmonic variables. This new (Lorentz harmonic) formulation possesses κ–symmetry in an irreducible form and is used as a basis for applying a generalized action principle that provides the superfield equations of motion and clarifies the geo...
متن کاملBoundary States for AdS 2 Branes in AdS 3
We construct boundary states for the AdS2 D-branes in AdS3. We show that, in the semiclassical limit, the boundary states correctly reproduce geometric configurations of these branes. We use the boundary states to compute the one loop free energy of open string stretched between the branes. The result agrees precisely with the open string computation in hep-th/0106129.
متن کاملA Comparative Study into “Gere Geometric Designs” in Islamic Architecture and Principle of “Perceptual Creation” in the Mystical Thoughts of Ibn Arabi
This article is an analytic and comparative study into abstract patterns of geometric designs, as one of the most significant spaces in the Islamic architecture, and the principle of perceptual creation. It has a comparative approach to investigate equivalence, effigy, and analogies between the micro and macro systems (in the hierarchical system of the universe). In the mystical cosmology of Ib...
متن کاملDoubly Supersymmetric Geometric Approach for Heterotic String: from Generalized Action Principle to Exactly Solvable Nonlinear Equations
The previously proposed generalized action principle approach to supersymmetric extended objects is considered in some details for the case of heterotic string in D = 3, 4, 6 and 10 space–time dimensions. The proof of the ’off–shell’ superdiffeomorphism invariance of the generalized action is presented. The doubly supersymmetric geometric approach to heterotic string is constructed on the basis...
متن کاملGENERALIZED ACTION PRINCIPLE and GEOMETRIC APPROACH for SUPERSTRINGS and SUPER–P–BRANES
Most of results described in this talk were obtained in collaboration with Dmitrij P. Sorokin and our teacher Dmitrij V. Volkov who, to our great sorrow, untimely leaved us this January. In this short printed version of my talk I describe the generalized action for super–p– branes [1] which can be used to construct the doubly supersymmetric generalization [2] of the geometric approach [3], and ...
