String Theory on AdS Orbifolds
We consider worldsheet string theory on ZN orbifolds of AdS3 associated with conical singularities. If the orbifold action includes a similar twist of S3, supersymmetry is preserved, and there is a moduli space of vacua arising from blowup modes of the orbifold singularity. We exhibit the spectrum, including the properties of twisted sectors and states obtained by fractional spectral flow. A su...
متن کاملCosmological String Gas on Orbifolds
It has long been known that strings wound around incontractible cycles can play a vital role in cosmology. In particular, in a spacetime with toroidal spatial hypersurfaces, the dynamics of the winding modes may help yield three large spatial dimensions. However, toroidal compactifications are phenomenologically unrealistic. In this paper we therefore take a first step toward extending these co...
متن کاملComments on Noncommutative Open String Theory: V-duality and Holography
In this paper we study the interplay of electric and magnetic backgrounds in determining the decoupling limit of coincident D-branes towards a noncommutative Yang-Mills (NCYM) or open string (NCOS) theory. No decoupling limit has been found for NCYM with space-time noncommutativity. It is suggested that there is a new duality, which we call V-duality, which acts on NCOS with both space-space an...
متن کاملComments on geometric and universal open string tachyons near fivebranes
In a recent work [1], Sen studied unstable D-branes in NS5-brane backgrounds and argued that in the strong curvature regime the universal open string tachyon (on Dbranes of the wrong dimensionality) and the geometric tachyon (on D-branes that are bps in flat space but not in this background) may become equivalent. We study in this note an example of a non-bps suspended D-brane vs. a bps D-brane...
متن کاملComments on the Fate of unstable orbifolds
We study the localized tachyon condensation in their mirror Landau-Ginzburg picture. We completely determine the decay mode of an unstable orbifold C/Zn, r = 1, 2, 3 under the condensation of a tachyon with definite R-charge and mass by extending the Vafa’s work hep-th/0111105. Here, we give a simple method that works uniformly for all C/Zn. For C/Zn, where method of toric geometry works, we gi...
