Little String Theories in Heterotic Backgrounds ⋆
We study Little String Theories (LST) with N = (1, 0) supersymmetry arising, in a suitable double scaling limit, from 5-branes in heterotic string theory or in the heterotic-like type II/(−) F L × shift. The limit in question, previously studied in the type II case, is such that the resulting holographically dual pairs, i.e. bulk string theory and LST can be considered to be weakly coupled. In ...
متن کاملNonsupersymmetric String Solitons
We begin a search for nonsupersymmetric/supersymmetric dual string pairs by constructing candidate critical nonsupersymmetric strings as solitons in supersymmetric string theories. Using orbifold techniques, one can construct cosmic string solutions which lie in supersymmetric vacua but which do not fall in supermultiplets. We discuss two threedimensional examples in detail. The effective world...
متن کاملPenrose Limit and String Theories on Various Brane Backgrounds
We investigate the Penrose limit of various brane solutions including Dp-branes, NS5-branes, fundamental strings, (p, q) fivebranes and (p, q) strings. We obtain special null geodesics with the fixed radial coordinate (critical radius), along which the Penrose limit gives string theories with constant mass. We also study string theories with time-dependent mass, which arise from the Penrose lim...
متن کاملSelf-Dual Nonsupersymmetric Type II String Compactifications
It has recently been proposed that certain nonsupersymmetric type II orbifolds have vanishing perturbative contributions to the cosmological constant. We show that techniques of Sen and Vafa allow one to construct dual type II descriptions of these models (some of which have no weakly coupled heterotic dual). The dual type II models are given by the same orbifolds with the string coupling S and...
متن کاملTime and space dependent backgrounds from nonsupersymmetric strings
We investigate maximally symmetric backgrounds in nonsupersymmetric string vacua with D-branes and O-planes localized in the compact space. We find a class of solutions with a perturbative string coupling constant in all regions of spacetime. Depending on the particular model, we find either a time evolution with a big-bang type singularity or a space dependent background with generically orbif...
