D-Branes in Nongeometric Backgrounds
“T-fold” backgrounds are generically-nongeometric compactifications of string theory, described by T fibrations over a base N with transition functions in the perturbative T-duality group. We review Hull’s doubled torus formalism, which geometrizes these backgrounds, and use the formalism to constrain the D-brane spectrum (to leading order in gs and α ) on T fibrations over S with O(n, n;Z) mon...
متن کاملExotic branes and nongeometric backgrounds.
When string or M theory is compactified to lower dimensions, the U-duality symmetry predicts so-called exotic branes whose higher-dimensional origin cannot be explained by the standard string or M-theory branes. We argue that exotic branes can be understood in higher dimensions as nongeometric backgrounds or U folds, and that they are important for the physics of systems which originally contai...
متن کاملD-Branes in Linear Dilaton Backgrounds
We construct a Dirichlet boundary state for linear dilaton backgrounds. The state is conformally invariant and satisfies Cardy’s conditions. We apply this construction to two dimensional string theory. e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected]
متن کاملNon-commutative branes in D-brane backgrounds
We study Myers world-volume effective action of coincident D-branes. We investigate a system of N0 D0-branes in the near horizon geometry of Dp-branes with p = 2 or p = 4. The choice of coordinates can make the action simplified and tractable. For p = 4, we show that a certain point-like D0-brane configuration solving equations of motion of the action can expand to form a fuzzy two-sphere witho...
متن کاملDynamics of D-branes in curved backgrounds
In recent years, the study of branes has led to many new insights into string and M-theory. Much of this study was done in the large-volume regime where geometric techniques provide reliable information. The extrapolation into the stringy regime usually requires new methods from boundary conformal field theory. Branes on group manifolds give us a good handle on this issue. Although they describ...
