Field Theory Dynamics from Branes in String Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
I review certain aspects of Hanany-Witten setups and other approaches used to embed (and solve) gauge theories in string theory. Applications covered include dualities in 4 and 3 dimensions, fixed points in 6 dimensions, phase transitions between different geometric backgrounds and dualities between branes and geometry.

Qcd Dynamics from M-theory
A large literature has grown up on engineering supersymmetric field theories using D-brane constructions in type IIA string theory (a comprehensive review and list of references is to be found in ref 2). The essential ingredient is that the massless string modes of strings ending on the surfaces of D-branes correspond to gauge fields living on the D-branes’ surfaces, plus superpartners. In addi...
متن کاملHolography and string dynamics in time-dependent backgrounds.
We study the dynamics of D-branes in a smooth time-dependent background. The theory on the branes is a time-dependent noncommutative field theory. We find the metric and fluxes that determine the dual holographic closed string theory. This provides a concrete example of holography in a cosmological setting.
متن کاملD-branes in Lorentzian Melvin Geometry
We consider string theory on Lorentzian Melvin geometry which is obtained via analytically continuing the two-parameter Euclidean Melvin background. Since this model provides a solvable conformal field theory that describes time-dependent twisted string dynamics, we study the string one-loop partition function and the Dbrane spectrum. We found that both the wrapping D2-brane and the codimension...
متن کاملD branes in 2 d string theory and Classical Limits
In the matrix model formulation of two dimensional noncritical string theory, a D0 brane is identified with a single eigenvalue excitation. In terms of open string quantities (i.e fermionic eigenvalues) the classical limit of a macroscopically large number of D0 branes has a smooth classical limit : they are described by a filled region of phase space whose size is O(1) and disconnected from th...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
