D-branes in Noncommutative Field Theory∗
نویسنده
چکیده
A mathematical introduction to the classical solutions of noncommutative field theory is presented, with emphasis on how they may be understood as states of D-branes in Type II superstring theory. Both scalar field theory and gauge theory on Moyal spaces are extensively studied. Instantons in Yang-Mills theory on the two-dimensional noncommutative torus and the fuzzy sphere are also constructed. In some instances the connection to D-brane physics is provided by a mapping of noncommutative solitons into K-homology.

A Relation between Commutative and Noncommutative Descriptions of D-branes
In string theory, D-branes can be expressed as a configuration of infinitely many lower dimensional D-branes. Using this relation, the worldvolume theory of D-branes can be regarded as the worldvolume theory of the infinitely many lower dimensional branes. In the description in terms of the lower dimensional branes, some of the worldvolume coordinates become noncommutative. Actually this noncom...
متن کاملKomaba Lectures on Noncommutative Solitons and D-Branes
These lectures provide an introduction to noncommutative geometry and its origins in quantum mechanics and to the construction of solitons in noncommutative field theory. These ideas are applied to the construction of D-branes as solitons of the tachyon field in noncommutative open string theory. A brief discussion is given of the K-theory classification of D-brane charge in terms of the K-theo...
متن کاملIsometric Embeddings and Noncommutative Branes in Homogeneous Gravitational Waves
We characterize the worldvolume theories on symmetric D-branes in a six-dimensional Cahen-Wallach pp-wave supported by a constant Neveu-Schwarz three-form flux. We find a class of flat noncommutative euclidean D3-branes analogous to branes in a constant magnetic field, as well as curved noncommutative lorentzian D3-branes analogous to branes in an electric background. In the former case the non...

متن کاملIntersecting Noncommutative D-branes and Baryons in Magnetic Fields
We study supersymmetric intersecting configurations of D-branes with B-field backgrounds. Noncommutative D-brane or M-brane pairs can intersect supersymmetrically over (p − 1)-brane, as well as over (p − 2)brane like ordinary branes. d = 10 and d = 11 supergravity solutions are obtained and the supersymmetry projection rule is examined. As an application we study a noncommutative D7-brane probe...
