D-branes and Matrix Theory in Curved Space
In this lecture, we will discuss a class of quantum mechanical actions which we believe are one appropriate starting point for defining Matrix theory in curved backgrounds. This is in part based on the works [16] and [25], and on work in progress with A. Kato and H. Ooguri. But first, let us give some historical background. A central lesson from the physics of D-branes [12,38,39] was a new and ...
متن کاملIrreversible thermodynamics of curved lipid membranes.
The theory of irreversible thermodynamics for arbitrarily curved lipid membranes is presented here. The coupling between elastic bending and irreversible processes such as intramembrane lipid flow, intramembrane phase transitions, and protein binding and diffusion is studied. The forms of the entropy production for the irreversible processes are obtained, and the corresponding thermodynamic for...
متن کاملFtsZ Constriction Force - Curved Protofilaments Bending Membranes.
FtsZ assembles in vitro into protofilaments (pfs) that are one subunit thick and ~50 subunits long. In vivo these pfs assemble further into the Z ring, which, along with accessory division proteins, constricts to divide the cell. We have reconstituted Z rings in liposomes in vitro, using pure FtsZ that was modified with a membrane targeting sequence to directly bind the membrane. This FtsZ-mts ...
متن کاملmembranes/D2-branes in a curved background
We present a three dimensional novel massive N = 2 super Yang-Mills action as a low energy effective worldvolume description of the D2-branes on a pp-wave. The action contains the Myers term, mass terms for three Higgs, and terms mixing the electric fields with other two Higgs. We derive the action in three different ways, from the M-theory matrix model, from the supermembrane action, and from ...
متن کاملD-Branes in Curved Space
We review recent work on the structure of the action forN D0-branes in a curved background, with emphasis on the meaning of space-time diffeomorphism invariance. Talk given at the Francqui Colloquium, 2001, “Strings and Gravity: Tying the Forces Together.” E-mail: [email protected] Since their introduction in 1995 [1], D-branes have played a tremendously important role in string theory. It...
