1 + 1 Dimensional NCOS and its U ( N ) Gauge Theory Dual

چکیده
We study some aspects of open string theories on D-branes with critical electric fields. We show that the massless open string modes that move in the direction of the electric field decouple. In the 1+1 dimensional case the dual theory is U(N) SYM with electric flux, and the decoupling of massless open strings is dual to the decoupling of the U(1) degrees of freedom. We also show that, if the direction along the electric field is compact, then there are finite energy winding closed string modes. They are dual to Higgs branch excitations of the SYM theory, and their energetics works accordingly. These properties provide new non-trivial evidence for the duality.

متن کاملStable Massive States in 1+1 Dimensional NCOS
We study the case of open string theory on a D1-brane in a critical electric field. It was argued in hep-th/0006085 that the massless open string modes of this theory decouple from the massive modes, corresponding to a decoupling of the U(1) degrees of freedom in the U(N) gauge theory dual. To provide further support for the decoupling, we present several examples of open string disk amplitudes...
متن کاملNoncommutative Yang-Mills Theory
We investigate asymptotic behaviors of the strong coupling limit in the N = 2 supersymmetric non-commutative Yang-Mills theory. The strong coupling behavior is quite different from the commutative one since the non-commutative dual U(1) theory is asymptotic free, although the monodoromy is the same as that of the ordinary theory. Singularities are produced by infinitely heavy monopoles and dyon...
متن کامل(OM) Theory in Diverse Dimensions
Open string theories can be decoupled from closed strings and gravity by scaling to the critical electric field. We propose dual descriptions for the strong coupling limit of these NCOS (Non-Commutative Open String) theories in six or fewer spacetime dimensions. In particular, we conjecture that the five-dimensionsal NCOS theory at strong coupling, is a theory of light Open Membranes (OM=:), de...

The three dimensional U(1) Lattice Gauge, in the weak coupling limit, is dual to a Discrete Gaussian model. We investigate this dual model and use it to calculate properties of the U(1) theory. We find that, because of the nature of the dual model, its advantages are outweighed by large autocorrelation times generated when the dual system becomes disordered.
