NONCOMMUTATIVITY OF BOUNDARY CLOSED STRING COORDINATES FOR AN OPEN MEMBRANE ON p-BRANE
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the dynamics of an open membrane with a cylindrical topology, in the background of a constant three form. We use the action, due to Bergshoeff, London and Townsend, to study the noncommutativity properties of the boundary string coordinates. The constrained Hamiltonian formalism due to Dirac is used to derive the noncommutativity of coordinates. The chain of constraints is found to be finite for a suitable gauge choice.

Noncommutativity of Boundary String Coordinates
We study the dynamics of an open membrane with a cylindrical topology, in the background of a constant three form, whose boundary is attached to p-branes. The boundary closed string is coupled to a two form potential to ensure gauge invariance. We use the action, due to Bergshoeff, London and Townsend, to study the noncommutativity properties of the boundary string coordinates. The constrained ...
متن کاملSymplectic Quantization of Open Strings and Noncommutativity in Branes
We show how to translate boundary conditions into constraints in the symplectic quantization method by an appropriate choice of generalized variables. This way the symplectic quantization of an open string attached to a brane in the presence of an antisymmetric background field reproduces the non commutativity of the brane coordinates.
متن کاملWorld Volume Noncommutativity versus Target Space Noncommutativity
It is known that the noncommutativity of D-brane coordinate is responsible for describing the higher-dimensional D-branes in terms of more fundamental ones such as D-particles or D-instantons, while considering a noncommutative torus as a target space is conjectured to be equivalent to introducing the background antisymmetric tensor field in matrix models. In the present paper we clarify the du...
متن کاملReduction of open membrane moduli
We perform a general reduction of the open membrane metric in a worldvolume direction of the M5-brane. Using reduction rules analogous to the bulk, we show that the open membrane metric leads to the standard open string metric and open string coupling constant on the D4-brane only for an “electric” reduction in which case the open membrane metric has no off-diagonal components and the Born-Infe...

We analyse the dynamics of an open membrane, both for the free case and when it is coupled to a background three-form, whose boundary is attached to p-branes. The role of boundary conditions and constraints in the Nambu-Goto and Polyakov formulations is studied. The low-energy approximation that effectively reduces the membrane to an open string is examined in detail. Noncommutative features of...
