Dilatonic Parallelizable NS-NS Backgrounds
نویسنده
چکیده
We complete the classification of parallelizable NS-NS backgrounds in type II super-gravity by adding the dilatonic case to the result of Figueroa-O'Farrill on the non-dilatonic case. We also study the supersymmetry of these parallelizable backgrounds. It is shown that all the dilatonic parallelizable backgrounds have sixteen supersymmetries. The parallelizable pp-wave backgrounds have been recently discussed in [1]. They are a class of the non-dilatonic NS-NS backgrounds in type II supergravity. Immediately, Figueroa-O'Farrill has classified all the parallelizable NS-NS backgrounds with the dilaton field turned off [2]. He also classified all the ten-dimensional parallelizable NS-NS field configurations which do not necessarily satisfy the equations of motion of type II super-gravity but with a closed torsion in the same paper [2]. This is the classification of the ten-dimensional parallelized Lorentzian Lie groups with a bi-invariant metric. In this short note, we will turn on the dilaton field to classify all the dilatonic par-allelizable NS-NS backgrounds in type II supergravity. Our strategy is simple: we will find the solution of the dilaton field to the equations of motion which is facilitated by the parallelizability of the geometry. It turns out that all the manifolds in the classification

String Theory on Parallelizable PP-Waves
The most general parallelizable pp-wave backgrounds which are non-dilatonic solutions in the NS-NS sector of type IIA and IIB string theories are considered. We demonstrate that parallelizable pp-wave backgrounds are necessarily homogeneous plane-waves, and that a large class of homogeneous plane-waves are parallelizable, stating the necessary conditions. Such plane-waves can be classified acco...
متن کاملOn solvable models of type IIB superstring in NS-NS and R-R plane wave backgrounds
We consider type IIB string in the two plane-wave backgrounds which may be interpreted as special limits of the AdS3 × S supported by the NS-NS or R-R 3-form backgrounds. The NS-NS plane-wave string model is equivalent to a direct generalization of the NappiWitten model, with its spectrum being similar to that of strings in constant magnetic field. The R-R model can be solved in the light-cone ...
متن کاملS-Duality and Exact Type IIB Superstring Backgrounds
A geometrical approach in the non-symmetric connection framework is employed to examine the issue of higher order α′ corrections to D=10 type IIB superstring backgrounds with a covariantly constant null Killing isometry and non-zero Ramond-Ramond field content. These describe generalized supersymmetric string waves and were obtained recently by us through the S-duality transformations of purely...
متن کاملSupersymmetric fluxbrane intersections and closed string tachyons
We consider NS-NS superstring model with several “magnetic” parameters bs (s = 1, ..., N) associated with twists mixing a compact S direction with angles in N spatial 2-planes of flat 10-dimensional space. It generalizes the Kaluza-Klein Melvin model which has single parameter b. The corresponding U-dual background is a R-R type IIA solution describing an orthogonal intersection of N flux 7-bra...
متن کاملD1-brane with Overcritical Electric Field in AdS3 and S-brane
We study aspects of Dirichlet S-branes, which are defined as Dirichlet boundary condition on a time like embedding of open strings, in general backgrounds. By applying T -duality along an isometry of the unphysical dS2-branes in NS-NS supported AdS3-background, we find S0-brane. We also study the time dependent tachyon condensation on the unstable Dp-brane and interpret the singular solutions a...
