On Boundary Perturbations in Liouville Theory and Brane Dynamics in Noncritical String Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We study certain relevant boundary perturbations of Liouville theory and discuss implications of our results for the brane dynamics in noncritical string theories. Our results include (i) There exist monodromies in the parameter μB of the Neumann-type boundary condition that can create an admixture represented by the Dirichlet type boundary condition, for example. (ii) Certain renormalization group flows can be studied perturbatively, which allows us to determine the results of the corresponding brane decays. (iii) There exists a simple renormalization group flow that can be calculated exactly. In all the cases that we have studied the renormalization group flow acts like a covering transformation for the monodromies mentioned under (i).

D-branes and Closed String Field Theory
D-branes have been studied for many years and used to reveal nonperturbative aspects of string theory. As A. Sen argued, D-branes can be realized as soliton solutions in open string field theory. Now some of his conjectures1 have been proved analytically2 in Witten’s open string field theory.3 What we would like to discuss here is how D-branes can be realized in closed string field theory.

متن کاملDirichlet Boundary Condition in Generalized Liouville Theory toward QCD String
We consider bosonic noncritical strings as QCD string. We present an basic strategy to construct them, in the context of Liouville theory. We show that Dirichlet boundary condition fills important roles in generalized Liouville theory. Specifically, it is used to stabilize the classical configuration of strings, and also utilized to treat the tachyon condensation, in our model. We point out tha...
متن کاملLiouville D-branes in Two-Dimensional Strings and Open String Field Theory
We study open strings in the noncritical c = 1 bosonic string theory compactified on a circle at self-dual radius. These strings live on D-branes that are extended along the Liouville direction (FZZT branes). We present explicit expressions for the disc twoand three-point functions of boundary operators in this theory, as well as the bulk-boundary two-point function. The expressions obtained ar...
متن کاملTIFR Annual Report 2003-04 THEORETICAL PHYSICS String Theory and Mathematical Physics
Research in String Theory was carried out on a very broad front, encompassing mirror symmetry, matrix models, duality, compactifications, the study of string theory in a curved background and its relation to gauge theories, and the interaction of string theory with cosmology. Some progress was made towards quantizing string theory in AdS5 × S in the limit of zero curvature, which is dual to the...
متن کاملBoundary Ground Ring and Disc Correlation Functions in Liouville Quantum Gravity∗
We construct the boundary ground ring in c ≤ 1 open string theories with non-zero boundary cosmological constant (FZZT brane), using the Coulomb gas representation. The ring relations yield an over-determined set of functional recurrence equations for the boundary correlation functions, which involve shifts of the the target space momenta of the boundary fields as well as the boundary parameter...
