Thermal D-Brane Boundary States from Green-Schwarz Superstrings
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we thermalize the type II superstrings in the GS formulation by applying the TFD formalism. The thermal boundary conditions on the thermal Hilbert space are obtained from the BPS D-brane boundary conditions at zero temperature. We show that thermal boundary states can be obtained by thermalization from the BPS D-branes at zero temperature. These new states can be interpreted as thermal D-branes. Next, we discuss the supersymmetry breaking of the thermal string in the TFD approach. We identify the broken supersymmetry with the ǫ-transformation while the η-transformation is preserved. Also, we compute the thermal partition function and the entropy of the thermal string.

Thermal D-brane boundary states from type IIB Green-Schwarz superstring in pp-wave background
We construct the thermal boundary states from the type IIB Green-Schwarz superstring in pp-wave background in the light-cone gauge. The superstring is treated in the canonical ensemble and in the TFD formalism which is appropriate to discuss canonically quantized systems. The thermal boundary states are obtained by thermalizing the total boundary states which are the boundary states of the tota...
متن کاملMatrix Regularization of Open Supermembrane |towards M-theory Ve-brane via Open Supermembrane |
We study open supermembranes in 11 dimensional rigid superspace with 6 dimensional topological defects (M-theory ve-branes). After rederiving in the Green-Schwarz formalism the boundary conditions for open superstrings in the type IIA theory, we determine the boundary conditions for open supermembranes by imposing kappa symmetry and invariance under a fraction of 11 dimensional supersymmetry. T...
متن کاملLight - Cone Supersymmetry and D - Branes
D-brane boundary states for type II superstrings are constructed by enforcing the conditions that preserve half of the space-time supersymmetry. A light-cone coordinate frame is used where time is identified as one of the coordinates transverse to the brane's (euclidean) world-volume so that the p-brane is treated as a (p + 1)-instanton. The boundary states have the superspace interpretation of...
متن کاملUnstable Non-BPS D-Branes of Type-II String Theories in Light-Cone Green-Schwarz Formalism
The problem of describing the boundary states of unstable non-BPS D-branes of type-II string theories in light-cone Green-Schwarz (GS) formalism is addressed. Regarding the type II theories in light-cone gauge as different realizations of the ŜO(8)k=1 Kac-Moody algebra, the non-BPS D-brane boundary states of these theories are given in terms of the relevant Ishibashi states constructed in this ...
متن کاملSuperbranes and Superembeddings
We review the geometrical approach to the description of the dynamics of superparticles, superstrings and, in general, of super–p–branes, Dirichlet branes and the M5-brane, which is based on a generalization of the elements of surface theory to the description of the embedding of supersurfaces into target superspaces. Being manifestly supersymmetric in both, the superworldvolume of the brane an...
