Non-BPS D-branes on a Calabi-Yau Orbifold
نویسنده
چکیده
A system containing a pair of non-BPS D-strings of type IIA string theory on an orbifold, representing a single D2-brane wrapped on a nonsupersymmetric 2-cycle of a Calabi-Yau 3-fold with (h(1,1), h(1,2)) = (11,11), is analyzed. In certain region of the moduli space the configuration is stable. We show that beyond the region of stability the system can decay into a pair of non-BPS D3-branes. At one point on the boundary of the region of stability, there exists a marginal deformation which connects the system of non-BPS D-strings to the system of non-BPS D3-branes. Across any other point on the boundary of the region of stability, the transition from the system of non-BPS D-strings to the system of non-BPS D3-branes is first order. We discuss the phase diagram in the moduli space for these configurations. Email : [email protected] Email : [email protected], [email protected]

Dirichlet Branes on a Calabi-Yau Three-fold Orbifold
The D-brane spectrum of a ZZ2×ZZ2 Calabi-Yau three-fold orbifold of toroidally compactified Type IIA and Type IIB string theory is analysed systematically. The corresponding K-theory groups are determined and complete agreement is found. New kinds of stable non-BPS D-branes are found, whose stability regions are far more complicated than the previously discussed non-BPS D-branes. The decay chan...
متن کاملThe BPS Spectrum of N = 2 SU ( N ) SYM and Parton
We apply ideas that have appeared in the study of D-branes on Calabi-Yau compactifications to the derivation of the BPS spectrum of field theories. In particular, we identify an orbifold point whose fractional branes can be thought of as “partons” of the BPS spectrum of N = 2 pure SU(N) SYM. We derive the BPS spectrum and lines of marginal stability branes near that orbifold, and compare our re...
متن کاملBPS D-branes on Non-supersymmetric Cycles
In certain regions of the moduli space of K3 and Calabi-Yau manifolds, D-branes wrapped on non-supersymmetric cycles may give rise to stable configurations. We show that in the orbifold limit, some of these stable configurations can be described by solvable boundary conformal field theories. The world-volume theory of N coincident branes of this type is described by a non-supersymmetric U(N) ga...
متن کاملThe spectrum of BPS branes on a noncompact Calabi-Yau
We begin the study of the spectrum of BPS branes and its variation on lines of marginal stability on OIP2(−3), a Calabi-Yau ALE space asymptotic to C/Z3. We show how to get the complete spectrum near the large volume limit and near the orbifold point, and find a striking similarity between the descriptions of holomorphic bundles and BPS branes in these two limits. We use these results to develo...
متن کاملNon-BPS Branes on a Calabi-Yau Threefold and Bose-Fermi Degeneracy
We consider the spectrum of open strings for non-BPS D-brane configuration in type II string theory on a Calabi-Yau threefold. In general, there is no degeneracy between bosonic and fermionic states. However we find special values for the moduli space of Calabi-Yau threefolds there are non-BPS brane configurations which have an exact degeneracy between bosonic and fermionic states. For these va...
