چکیده
We study possible deformations of BPS supertubes keeping their conserved charges fixed. We show that there is no flat direction to closed supertubes of circular cross section with uniform electric and magnetic fields, and also to open planar supertubes. We also find that there are continuously infinite flat deformations to supertubes of general shape under certain conditions.

A Geometric Look on the Microstates of Supertubes
We give a geometric interpretation of the entropy of the supertubes with fixed conserved charges and angular momenta in two different approaches using the DBI action and the supermembrane theory. By counting the geometrically allowed microstates, it is shown that both the methods give consistent result on the entropy. In doing so, we make the connection to the gravity microstates clear. 1 Intro...
متن کاملSpectral Flow, and the Spectrum of Multi-Center Solutions
We discuss “spectral flow” coordinate transformations that take asymptotically fourdimensional solutions into other asymptotically four-dimensional solutions. We find that spectral flow can relate smooth three-charge solutions with a multi-center Taub-NUT base to solutions where one or several Taub-NUT centers are replaced by two-charge supertubes, and vice versa. We further show that multi-par...
متن کاملRemoval of closed time-like curves by supertube domain walls
The main claim is that, in the few examples studied, those supergravity solutions are not legitimate solutions of string theory. This is demonstrated by considering certain D-brane objects (supertubes [5]) in these background. Those supertubes may be taken as the building blocks of those geometries, and their dynamics cease to make sense when their compact direction wraps a closed time-like cur...
متن کاملBoundary States for Supertubes in Flat Spacetime and Gödel Universe
We construct boundary states for supertubes in the flat spacetime. Since the T-dual objects of supertubes are moving spiral D1-branes (D-helices), which we can obtain from the usual D1-branes via null deformation, we can construct the boundary states for these moving D-helices in the covariant formalism. Using these boundary states, we calculate the vacuum amplitude between two supertubes in th...
متن کاملSupertubes in Field Theories
To a domain wall or string object, Noether charge and topological spatial objects can be attracted, forming a composite BPS (Bogomolny-Prasad-Sommerfield) object. We consider two field theories and derive a new BPS bound on composite linear solitons involving multiple charges. Among the BPS objects ‘supertubes’ appear when the wall or string tension is canceled by the bound energy, and could ta...
