D Branes and Phases on String Worldsheet
نویسنده
چکیده
We generalize the worldsheet derivation of the topological open/closed string duality given in hep-th/0205297 to cases when there are different types of D branes on the open string side. We use the mirror Landau-Ginzburg description to clarify the correspondence between D branes on the open string side and C phases on the closed string side. We also discuss the duality from the point of view of the B model.

String Junction from Worldsheet Gauge Theory
We study the three-pronged strings (three string junctions) from the point of view of D-string worldsheet gauge theory. We justify interpreting kink solutions in the 2-dimensional gauge theory as pronged strings by examining BPS energy bounds obtained from this theory. When the ends of the pronged string are on D3-branes, the configuration preserves 1/4 supersymmetry with BPS conditions includi...

We summarize recent progress in the understanding of minimal string theory, focusing on the worldsheet description of physical operators and D-branes. We review how a geometric interpretation of minimal string theory emerges naturally from the study of the D-branes. This simple geometric picture ties together many otherwise unrelated features of minimal string theory, and it leads directly to a...
متن کاملD - terms and D - strings in open string models
We study the Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) D-terms on D-branes in type II Calabi-Yau backgrounds. We provide a simple worldsheet proof of the fact that, at tree level, these terms only couple to scalars in closed string hypermultiplets. At the one-loop level, the D-terms get corrections only if the gauge group has an anomalous spectrum, with the anomaly cancelled by a Green-Schwarz mechanism. We study ...
متن کاملPhases of Antisymmetric Tensor Field Theories
We study the different phases of field theories of compact antisymmetric tensors of rank h − 1 in arbitrary space-time dimensions D = d + 1. Starting in a ‘Coulomb’ phase, topological defects of dimension d− h− 1 ((d− h− 1)-branes) may condense leading to a generalized ‘confinement’ phase. If the dual theory is also compact the model may also have a third, generalized ‘Higgs’ phase, driven by t...
متن کاملLinear Sigma Models for Open Strings
We formulate and study a class of massive N = 2 supersymmetric gauge field theories coupled to boundary degrees of freedom on the strip. For some values of the parameters, the infrared limits of these theories can be interpreted as open string sigma models describing D-branes in large-radius Calabi-Yau compactifications. For other values of the parameters, these theories flow to CFTs describing...
