Brane Actions and String Dualities
نویسندگان
چکیده
An effective action for the M9-brane is proposed. We study its relation with other branes via dualities. Among these, we find actions for branes which are not suggested by the central charges of the Type II superalgebras. To be published in the proceedings of the TMR-meeting Quantum Aspects of Gauge Theories, Supersymmetry and Unification, Corfu, Greece, September 1998.

Multiparameter Brane Solutions by Boosts, S and T dualities
We show that the multiparameter (intersecting) brane solutions of string/M theories given in the literature can all be obtained by a suitable combination of boosts in eleven dimension, S and T dualities. We also describe a duality property of the D dimensional multiparameter solutions describing branes smeared in compact directions. This duality is analogous to the T duality of the string theor...
متن کاملOn the Orientifolding of Type II NS–Fivebranes
Dualities between certain supersymmetric gauge field theories in three and four dimensions have been studied in considerable detail recently, by realizing them as geometric manipulations of configurations of extended objects in type II string theory. These extended objects include ‘D–branes’ and ‘NS–(five)branes’. In constructing the brane configurations which realize dualities for orthogonal a...
متن کاملCONDENSATION OF p-BRANES AND GENERALIZED HIGGS/CONFINEMENT DUALITY
We review our recent work on the low-energy actions and the realizations of strongweak coupling dualities in non-perturbative phases of compact antisymmetric tensor field theories due to p-brane condensation. As examples we derive and discuss the confining string and confining membrane actions obtained from compact vector and tensor theories in 4D. We also mention the relevance of our results f...
متن کاملOn the Worldsheet Derivation of Large N Dualities for the Superstring
Large N topological string dualities have led to a class of proposed open/closed dual-ities for superstrings. In the topological string context, the worldsheet derivation of these dualities has already been given. In this paper we take the first step in deriving the full ten-dimensional superstring dualities by showing how the dualities arise on the superstring worldsheet at the level of F term...

A tubular D3-brane with electromagnetic flux is considered. It is verified that the quantized electric and magnetic charges are the F-string and D-string charges of the brane, respectively. The D3-brane with parallel electric and magnetic fields collapses to the bound state of strings. A D3-brane with nonzero Poynting vector can be viewed as expanded FD strings. A fundamental string is viewed a...
