Open-Closed Duality at Tree Level

چکیده

We study decay of unstable D-branes in string theory in the presence of electric field, and show that the classical open string theory results for various properties of the final state agree with the properties of closed string states into which the system is expected to decay. This suggests a duality between tree level open string theory on unstable D-branes and closed strings at high density.

Aspects of Open-Closed Duality in a Background B-Field

We study closed string exchanges in background B-field. By analysing the two point one loop amplitude in bosonic string theory, we show that tree-level exchange of lowest lying, tachyonic and massless closed string modes, have IR singularities similar to those of the nonplanar sector in noncommutative gauge theories. We further isolate the contributions from each of the massless modes. We inter...

Aspects of Open-Closed Duality in a Background B-Field II

It was shown in [hep-th/0503009], in the context of bosonic theory that the IR singular terms that arise as a result of integrating out high momentum modes in nonplanar diagrams of noncommutative gauge theory can be recovered from low lying tree-level closed string exchanges. This follows as a natural consequence of world-sheet openclosed string duality. Here using the same setup we study the p...

Open-Closed Duality: Lessons from Matrix Model

Recent investigations involving the decay of unstable D-branes in string theory suggest that the tree level open string theory which describes the dynamics of the D-brane already knows about the closed string states produced in the decay of the brane. We propose a specific conjecture involving quantum open string field theory to explain this classical result, and show that the recent results in...

On Open/Closed String Duality

It was recently shown, using the AdS/CFT correspondence, that the low energy effective action of a large N open string theory satisfies a holographic RG flow equation closely related to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of 5-d supergravity. In this paper we re-obtain the same flow equation in the dual regime of small ’t Hooft coupling λ ≪ 1. Our derivation makes use of the conformal equivalence betw...

1 Boundary String Field Theory at One - loop

We apply the boundary string field theory (BSFT) to a unstable D-brane system to study the open-closed string duality at one loop in the presence of the tachyon condensation. The partition function at one-loop level is calculated by using both open and closed string channels. We find that the results from two different channels coincide, thus the open-closed string duality holds even off-shell.
