On Branes and Oriented B-fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
Novel theories appear on the world-volume of branes by orienting B fields along various directions of the branes. We review some of the earlier developments and explore many new examples of these theories. In particular, among other things, we study the pinning effect of branes near conifold like singularities and brane-antibrane theories with different fluxes on their world-volumes. We show that all these theories arise from different limits of an M-theory configuration with appropriately chosen G-fluxes. This gives us a way to study them from a unified framework in M-theory.

Supergravity Couplings of Noncommutative D-branes
We discuss the supergravity couplings of noncommutative D-branes by considering the disk amplitudes with one closed string insertion. The result confirms a recent proposal for the general form of the noncommutative Yang-Mills operators coupling to the massless closed string modes. The construction involves smearing Yang-Mills field variables along an open Wilson line. For multiple D-branes inte...

We represent B fields and higher p-form potentials on a manifold M as connections on affine bundles over M . We realize D branes on M as special submanifolds of these affine bundles. We check the physical relevance of this representation by showing that the properties of the resulting branes closely correspond to those of their string theory counterparts. As a simple application of this geometr...

متن کاملBlack Rings in Taub-NUT and D0-D6 interactions
We analyze the dynamics of neutral black rings in Taub-NUT spaces and their relation to systems of D0 and D6 branes in the supergravity approximation. We employ several recent techniques, both perturbative and exact, to construct solutions in which thermal excitations of the D0-branes can be turned on or off, and the D6-brane can have Bfluxes turned on or off in its worldvolume. By explicit cal...

We construct quantum mechanical models which mimic many features of string theory. We use these models to gain improved descriptions of B fields and gerbes. We examine the analogs of T duality, D branes, and mirror symmetry in these models and derive quantum mechanical analogs of standard phenomena, such as the noncommutative geometry induced by a B field.
