BOUND STATES OF STRINGS AND p-BRANES

نویسنده

  • Edward Witten
چکیده

The recent discovery of an explicit conformal field theory description of Type II p-branes makes it possible to investigate the existence of bound states of such objects. In particular, it is possible with reasonable precision to verify the prediction that the Type IIB superstring in ten dimensions has a family of soliton and bound state strings permuted by SL(2,Z). The space-time coordinates enter tantalizingly in the formalism as non-commuting matrices.

Boundary States of D-Branes and Dy-Strings

Polchinski’s recent construction of Dirichlet-branes of R-R charges, together with Witten’s mechanism for forming bound states of both NS-NS charges and R-R charges, provides a rigorous method to treat these dy-branes. We construct the massless sector of boundary states of D-branes, as well as of dy-strings of charge (p, 1). As a consequence, the string tension formula predicted by duality in t...

More on Mixed Boundary Conditions and D-branes Bound States

In this article, applying different types of boundary conditions; Dirichlet, Neumann, or Mixed, on open strings we realize various new brane bound states in string theory. Calculating their interactions with other D-branes, we find their charge densities and their tension. A novel feature of (p− 2, p) brane bound state is its ”non-commutative” nature which is manifestly seen both in the open st...

Anti-de Sitter D-branes in Curved Backgrounds

We investigate the properties of the AdS D1-branes which are the bound states of a curved D1-brane with n fundamental strings (F1) in the AdS3 spacetime, and the AdS D2-branes which are the axially symmetric bound states of a curved D2-brane with m D0-branes and n fundamental strings in the AdS3 × S spacetime. We see that, while the AdS D1-branes asymptotically approach to the event horizon of ...

Tubular Solutions in NS5-brane, Dp-brane and Macroscopic Strings Backgrounds

We present our searches for the tubular bound states of a D2-brane with m D0-branes and n fundamental strings in the NS5-brane, Dp-brane or macroscopic strings background by solving the Dirac-Born-Infeld equation. The geometry of tubular configurations we considered are taken to be parallel to the background branes or macroscopic strings. The n fundamental strings therein may be the circular st...

Superradiant instabilities of rotating black branes and strings

Black branes and strings are generally unstable against a certain sector of gravitational perturbations. This is known as the Gregory-Laflamme instability. It has been recently argued [1, 2] that there exists another general instability affecting many rotating extended black objects. This instability is in a sense universal, in that it is triggered by any massless field, and not just gravitatio...
