The Stability of D2–Branes in the Presence of an RR field
نویسنده
چکیده
A Born–Infeld theory describing aD2–brane coupled to a 3–form RR potential is reconsidered in order to investigate the stability of its nonsingular solutions with finite energy. The condition of stability of the solutions is established and the stable solutions and their shape are determined. PACS Numbers:11.10.Lm, 11.27.+d, 05.70.Fh

D2-branes with magnetic flux in the presence of RR fields
D2-branes are studied in the context of Born-Infeld theory as a source of the 3form RR gauge potential. Considering the static case with only a radial magnetic field it is shown that a locally stable hemispherical deformation of the brane exists which minimises the energy locally. Since the D2-brane carries also the charge of D0-branes, and the RR spacetime potential is unbounded from below, th...
متن کاملRr Charges of D2-branes in the Wzw Model
We consider the contribution of the B-field into the RR charge of a spherical D2-brane. Extending a recent analysis of Taylor, we show that the boundary and bulk contributions do not cancel in general. Instead, they add up to an integer as observed by Stanciu. The general formula is applied to compute the RR charges of spherical D-branes of the SU(2) WZW model at level k and it shows that these...

A Born–Infeld theory describing a D2–brane coupled to a 3–form RR potential is reconsidered in order to determine the dominant nonsingular tunneling trajectory with finite action which determines the decay rate of the brane. PACS Numbers:11.10.Lm, 11.27.+d, 05.70.Fh
متن کاملD-Branes on ALE Spaces and the ADE Classification of Conformal Field Theories
The spectrum of D2-branes wrapped on an ALE space of general ADE type is determined, by representing them as boundary states of N = 2 superconformal minimal models. The stable quantum states have RR charges which precisely represent the gauge fields of the corresponding Lie algebra. This provides a simple and direct physical link between the ADE classification of N =2 superconformal field theor...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Spinning Branes and their Dual Field Theories
We present a general analysis of the thermodynamics of spinning black p-branes of string and M-theory. This is carried out both for the asymptotically-flat and near-horizon case, with emphasis on the latter. In particular, we use the conjectured correspondence between the near-horizon brane solutions and field theories with 16 supercharges in various dimensions to describe the thermodynamic beh...
