I-Brane Dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the dynamics near a 1 + 1 dimensional intersection of two orthogonal stacks of fivebranes in type IIB string theory, using an open string description valid at weak coupling, and a closed string description valid at strong coupling. The weak coupling description suggests that this system is invariant under eight supercharges with a particular chirality in 1 + 1 dimensions, and its spectrum contains chiral fermions localized at the intersection. The closed string description leads to a rather different picture – a three dimensional Poincare invariant theory with a gap and sixteen supercharges. We show that this dramatic change in the behavior of the system is partly due to anomaly inflow. Taking it into account leads to a coherent picture, both when the fivebranes in each stack are coincident and when they are separated.

Spherically Symmetric Solutions in a New Braneworld Massive Gravity Theory
In this paper, a combination of the braneworld scenario and covariant de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive Gravity theory is proposed. In this setup, the five-dimensional bulk graviton is considered to be massive. The five dimensional nonlinear ghost-free massive gravity theory affects the 3-brane dynamics and the gravitational potential on the brane. Following the solutions with spherical s...
متن کاملUnitarity, D-brane dynamics and D-brane categories
This is a short nontechnical note summarizing the motivation and results of my recent work on D-brane categories. I also give a brief outline of how this framework can be applied to study the dynamics of topological D-branes and why this has a bearing on the homological mirror symmetry conjecture. This note can be read without any knowledge of category theory. ∗ [email protected]

The shear dynamics in Bianchi I cosmological model on the brane with a perfect fluid (the equation of state is p = (γ −1)µ) is studied. It is shown that for 1 < γ < 2 the shear parameter has maximum at some moment during a transition period from nonstandard to standard cosmology. An exact formula for the matter density µ in the epoch of maximum shear parameter as a function of the equation of s...

متن کاملDynamics of D 1 - brane in I - brane Background
This paper is devoted to the study of the effective field theory description of the probe D1-brane in the background of the system of two stacks of fivebranes in type IIB theory that intersect on R 1,1. We study the properties of the Dirac-Born-Infeld action for D1-brane moving in this background. We will argue that this action is invariant under an additional symmetry in the near horizon limit...
متن کاملOn Boundary Perturbations in Liouville Theory and Brane Dynamics in Noncritical String Theories
We study certain relevant boundary perturbations of Liouville theory and discuss implications of our results for the brane dynamics in noncritical string theories. Our results include (i) There exist monodromies in the parameter μB of the Neumann-type boundary condition that can create an admixture represented by the Dirichlet type boundary condition, for example. (ii) Certain renormalization g...
