چکیده
We construct unstable system D8 + D8 as a kink solution on world-volume of non-BPS D9-brane in IIA theory. Further we will make other checks confirming validity of our approach.

Ramond-Ramond couplings of non-BPS D-branes
We study how non-BPS type II D-branes couple to R-R potentials. Upon tachyon condensation the couplings we find give rise to the Wess-Zumino action of BPS D-branes. In a seminal series of papers, Sen has shown how to obtain an exact conformal field theory description of non-BPS D-branes (see [1] for two of the main papers and two recent reviews). In this setup, a non-BPS D(p − 1)-brane remains ...
متن کاملTensionless Branes and Discrete Gauge Symmetry
We argue that the tensionless branes found recently on non-BPS D-branes using non-commutative field theory are in fact gauge equivalent to the vacuum under a discrete gauge symmetry. We also give a simple construction of the D(2p)-branes in IIA theory starting from a single non-BPS D9-brane. It has been shown recently that D-branes can be constructed as exact solitons in open string field theor...
متن کاملNon-BPS D9-branes in the Early Universe
We have investigated the finite temperature systems of non-BPS D-branes and D-brane−anti-D-brane pairs in the previous papers. It has been shown that nonBPS D9-branes and D9-D9 pairs become stable near the Hagedorn temperature on the basis of boundary string field theory. This implies that there is a possibility that these spacetime-filling branes exist in the early universe. We study the time ...
متن کاملType IIA D-Branes, K-Theory and Matrix Theory
We show that all supersymmetric Type IIA D-branes can be constructed as bound states of a certain number of unstable non-supersymmetric Type IIA D9-branes. This string-theoretical construction demonstrates that D-brane charges in Type IIA theory on spacetime manifold X are classified by the higher K-theory group K(X), as suggested recently by Witten. In particular, the system of N D0-branes can...
متن کاملStable D8-branes and Tachyon Condensation in Type 0 Open String Theory
We consider non-BPS D8 (and D7) branes in type 0 open string theory and describe under which circumstances these branes are stable. We find stable non-BPS D7 and D8 in type 0 with and without D9-branes in the background. By extending the descent relations between D-branes to type 0 theories, the non-BPS D8-brane is considered as the result of a tachyon condensation of a D9 anti-D9 pair in type ...
