Tensionless Branes and Discrete Gauge Symmetry
We argue that the tensionless branes found recently on non-BPS D-branes using non-commutative field theory are in fact gauge equivalent to the vacuum under a discrete gauge symmetry. We also give a simple construction of the D(2p)-branes in IIA theory starting from a single non-BPS D9-brane. It has been shown recently that D-branes can be constructed as exact solitons in open string field theor...
متن کاملTensionless p-branes with manifest conformal invariance
The quantization of the tensionless p-brane is discussed. Inspection of the constraint algebra reveals that the central extensions for the p-branes have a simple form. Using a Hamiltonian BRST scheme we find that the quantization is consistent in any space-time dimension while the quantization of the conformal tensionless p-brane gives a critical dimension d = 2. e-mail address:[email protected]...
متن کاملD-branes in Yang-Mills theory and Emergent Gauge Symmetry
Four-dimensional supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on a sphere has highly charged baryon-like states built from anti-symmetric combinations of the adjoint scalars. We show that these states, which are equivalently described as holes in a free fermi sea of a reduced matrix model, are D-branes. Their excitations are stringlike and effectively realize Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions...
متن کاملGauge Symmetry and Supersymmetry Breaking From Intersecting Branes
We study a system of intersecting NS and D-branes in type IIA string theory in IR. We show that the 3 + 1 dimensional non-supersymmetric theory at the intersection has unstable vacua which are long-lived in some regions of the parameter space of brane configurations, and disappear in others. We also comment on the relation of our construction to systems of D and D̄-branes wrapped around cycles o...
متن کاملGauge Symmetry and Supersymmetry of Multiple M2-Branes
In previous work we proposed a field theory model for multiple M2-branes based on an algebra with a totally antisymmetric triple product. In this paper we gauge a symmetry that arises from the algebra’s triple product. We then construct a supersymmetric theory with no free parameters that is consistent with all the continuous symmetries expected of a multiple M2-brane theory: 16 supersymmetries...
