Strings and branes are waves

چکیده
We examine the equations of motion of double field theory and the duality manifest form of M-theory. We show the solutions of the equations of motion corresponding to null waves correspond to strings or membranes from the usual spacetime perspective. A Goldstone mode analysis of the null wave solution in double field theory produces the equations of motion of the duality manifest string.

Supergravity Solutions for Branes Localized Within Branes
We construct supergravity solutions describing branes (D2-branes or NS 5-branes or waves) localized within D6-branes in the region close to the core of the D6branes. Other similar string-theory and M-theory ‘near-core’ localized solutions can be found by applying U-duality and/or lifting D = 10 solutions to D = 11. In particular, the D2-branes localized on D6-branes is T-dual to a special case ...
متن کاملSuperradiant 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...
متن کاملAnti-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 ...
متن کاملRotating Rotated Branes
We present a class of spacetime rotations that preserve a proportion of spacetime supersymmetry. We then give the rules for superposing these rotations with various branes to construct rotating brane solutions which preserve exotic fractions of supersymmetry. We also investigate the superposition of rotations with intersecting branes at angles and we find new rotating intersecting branes at ang...
متن کاملScattering of Strings from D-branes
We review a number of perturbative calculations describing the interactions of D-branes with massless elementary string states. The form factors for the scattering of closed strings off D-branes are closely related to the Veneziano amplitude. They show that, in interactions with strings, D-branes acquire many of their physical features: the effective size of D-branes is of order the string scal...
