Eleven Dimensions from the Massive D-2-brane
We find an eleven dimensional description of the D-2-brane of the massive type IIA theory as a first step towards an understanding of this theory in eleven dimensions. By means of a world-volume IIA/M theory duality transformation we show that the massive D-2-brane is equivalent to the dimensional reduction of the eleven dimensional membrane coupled to an auxiliary vector field. The role of thi...
متن کاملZZ Brane Decay in D Dimensions
In this paper we consider the ZZ brane decay in a D-dimensional background with a linear dilaton and a Liouville potential switched on. We mainly calculate the closed string emission rate during the decay process. For the case of a spacelike dilaton we find a similar Hagedorn behavior, in the closed string UV region, with the brane decay in the usual 26d and 2d bosonic string theory. This means...
متن کاملThe Sirens of Eleven Dimensions
While most theorists are tied to the mast of four dimensions, some have found it irresistible to speculate about eleven dimensions, the domain of M-theory. We outline a program which starts from the light-cone description of supergravity, and tracks its divergences to suggest the existence of an infinite component theory which in the light-cone relies on the coset F4/SO(9), long known to be lin...
متن کاملDynamical decompactification from brane gases in eleven-dimensional supergravity
Brane gas cosmology provides a dynamical decompactification mechanism that could account for the number of spacetime dimensions we observe today. In this work we discuss this scenario taking into account the full bosonic sector of eleven-dimensional supergravity. We find new cosmological solutions that can dynamically explain the existence of three large spatial dimensions characterised by an u...
متن کاملAnomalous Dimensions from a Spinning D5-Brane
We consider the anomalous dimension of a certain twist two operator in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. At strong coupling and large-N it is captured by the classical dynamics of a spinning D5-brane. The present calculation generalizes the result of Gubser, Klebanov and Polyakov (hep-th/0204051): in order to calculate the anomalous dimension of a bound state of k coincident strings, the spinning ...
