Coupling the Superstring to a D-Brane Ramond-Ramond Background
نویسنده
چکیده
A new approach to couple the type II superstring to the Ramond-Ramond background of D-branes is proposed. Its construction, using the Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz formalism, is based on the unbroken translations of flat D-branes. It is substantiated by a relation between strings in Ramond-Ramond states and the transversally polarized open strings of the D-branes.

Noncritical Superstrings in a Ramond-Ramond Background
We use the recently found matrix description of noncritical superstring theory of Type 0A to compute tachyon scattering amplitudes in a background with a RR flux. We find that after the string coupling is multiplicatively renormalized, the amplitudes in any genus become polynomial in the RR flux. We propose that in the limit where both the string coupling and the RR flux go to infinity, the the...
متن کاملD - Brane Wess - Zumino Actions , T - Duality and the Cosmological Constant
A geometrical formulation of the T-duality rules for type II superstring Ramond–Ramond fields is presented. This is used to derive the Wess-Zumino terms in superstring D-brane actions, including terms proportional to the mass parameter of the IIA theory, thereby completing partial results in the literature. For non-abelian world-volume gauge groups the massive type IIA D-brane actions contain n...
متن کاملD-branes from M-branes
The 2-brane and 4-brane solutions of ten dimensional IIA supergravity have a dual interpretation as Dirichlet-branes, or 'D-branes', of type IIA superstring theory and as 'M-branes' of an S 1-compactified eleven dimensional supermembrane theory, or M-theory. This eleven-dimensional connection is used to determine the ten-dimensional Lorentz covariant worldvolume action for the Dirichlet super 2...
متن کاملSome Aspects of Massive World-Brane Dynamics
We study the internal dynamics of Ramond-Ramond solitons excited far from the BPS limit by leading Regge trajectory open strings. The simplest world volume process for such strings is splitting into two smaller pieces, and we calculate the corresponding decay rates. Compared to the conventional open superstring, the splitting of states polarized parallel to the brane is suppressed by powers of ...
متن کاملSuperconnections, Anomalies and Non-BPS Brane Charges
The properties of brane-antibrane systems and systems of unstable D-branes in Type II superstring theory are investigated using the formalism of superconnections. The low-energy open string dynamics is shown to be probed by generalized Dirac operators. The corresponding index theorems are used to compute the chiral gauge anomalies in these systems, and hence their gravitational and Ramond-Ramon...
