Cosmic Superstring Scattering in Backgrounds
We generalize the calculation of cosmic superstring reconnection probability to non-trivial backgrounds. This is done by modeling cosmic strings as wound tachyon modes in the 0B theory, and the spacetime effective action is then used to couple this to background fields. Simple examples are given including trivial and warped compactifications. Generalization to (p, q) strings is discussed.
متن کاملExact Type IIB Superstring Backgrounds
We obtain a family of type IIB superstring backgrounds involving RamondRamond fields in ten dimensions starting from a heterotic string background with vanishing gauge fields. To this end the global SL(2, R) symmetry of the type IIB equations of motion is implemented as a solution generating transformation. Using a geometrical analysis we show that the type IIB backgrounds obtained are solution...
متن کاملClosed Superstring Emission from Rolling Tachyon Backgrounds
We compute the lowest components of the Type II Ramond-Ramond boundary state for the tachyon profile T (X) = λe / √ 2 by direct path integral evaluation. The calculation is made possible by noting that the integrals involved in the requisite disk one-point functions reduce to integrals over the product group manifold U(n)× U(m). We further note that one-point functions of more general closed st...
متن کاملSuperstring Gravitational Wave Backgrounds with Spacetime Supersymmetry
We analyse the stringy gravitational wave background based on the current algebra E 2. We determine its exact spectrum and construct the modular invariant vacuum energy. The corresponding N=1 extension is also constructed. The algebra is again mapped to free bosons and fermions and we show that this background has N=4 (N=2) unbroken spacetime supersymmetry in the type II (heterotic case). CERN-...
متن کاملSuperstring Perturbation Theory and Ramond-Ramond Backgrounds
We consider perturbative Type II superstring theory in the covariant NSR formalism in the presence of NSNS and RR backgrounds. A concrete example that we have in mind is the geometry of D3-branes which in the near-horizon region is AdS5 × S5, although our methods may be applied to other backgrounds as well. We show how conformal invariance of the string path integral is maintained order by orde...
