Brane Condensation and Confinement
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the static quantum potential for a theory of anti-symmetric tensor fields that results from the condensation of topological defects, within the framework of the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism. Our calculations show that the interaction energy is the sum of a Yukawa and a linear potentials, leading to the confinement of static probe charges.

Separation of Spontaneous Chiral Symmetry Breaking and Confinement via AdS/CFT Correspondence
We analyze, in the framework of AdS/CFT correspondence, the gauge theory phase structure that are supposed to be dual to the recently found non-supersymmetric dilatonic deformations to AdS5 × S5 in type IIB string theory. Analyzing the probe D7-brane dynamics in the backgrounds of our interest, which corresponds to the fundamental N = 2 hypermultiplet, we show that the chiral bi-fermion condens...
متن کاملCONDENSATION OF p-BRANES AND GENERALIZED HIGGS/CONFINEMENT DUALITY
We review our recent work on the low-energy actions and the realizations of strongweak coupling dualities in non-perturbative phases of compact antisymmetric tensor field theories due to p-brane condensation. As examples we derive and discuss the confining string and confining membrane actions obtained from compact vector and tensor theories in 4D. We also mention the relevance of our results f...
متن کاملMonopole Condensation and Confining Phase of N = 1 Gauge Theories Via M Theory
The fivebrane of M theory is used in order to study the moduli space of vacua of confining phase N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions. The supersymmetric vacua correspond to the condensation of massless monopoles and confinement of photons. The monopole and meson vacuum expectation values are computed using the fivebrane configuration. The comparison of the fivebrane computati...
متن کاملFundamental strings and NS5-branes from unstable D-branes in supergravity
By using the non-supersymmetric p-brane solutions delocalized in arbitrary number of transverse directions in type II supergravities, we show how they can be regarded as interpolating solutions between unstable Dp-branes (a non-BPS D-brane or a pair of coincident D-brane-antiD-brane) and fundamental strings and also between unstable Dp-branes and NS5-branes. We also show that some of these solu...
