The Non-commutative Brane World

چکیده
We propose a new higher-dimensional mechanism to localize scalar fields as well as fermionic and gauge fields. The underlying theory is a six-dimensional non-commutative field theory where non-commutativity is allowed along two extra infinite spatial dimensions and the four-dimensional brane is provided by a scalar soliton living in the non-commutative space. Making use of the powerful correspondence between non-commutative coordinates and operators on a single particle Hilbert space, we show that the non-commutative brane world admits localized chiral fermions and it ensures the localization of massless gauge fields. It may also give rise to a variety of different low-energy spectra since the localized zero mode may come along either with a discrete tower of degenerate heavy states or with a tower of Kaluza-Klein heavy states, or it may even be the only state in the low-energy spectrum.

Non-commutativity, Zero modes and D-brane Geometry
The non-commutative geometry is revisited from the perspective of a generalized D p-brane. In particular, we analyze the open bosonic string world-sheet description and show that an effective non-commutative description on a D p-brane corresponds to a re-normalized worldvolume. The world-volume correlators are analyzed to make a note on the non-commutative geometry. It is argued that the U(1) g...
متن کاملA Construction of Commutative D-branes from Lower Dimensional Non-BPS D-branes
We construct an exact soliton, which represents a BPS Dp-brane, in a boundary string field theory action of infinitely many non-BPS D(p − 1)-branes. Furthermore, we show that this soliton can be regarded as an exact soliton in the full string field theory. The world-volume theory of the BPS Dp-brane constructed in this way becomes usual gauge theory on commutative R, instead of non-commutative ...
متن کاملNon-commutative branes in D-brane backgrounds
We study Myers world-volume effective action of coincident D-branes. We investigate a system of N0 D0-branes in the near horizon geometry of Dp-branes with p = 2 or p = 4. The choice of coordinates can make the action simplified and tractable. For p = 4, we show that a certain point-like D0-brane configuration solving equations of motion of the action can expand to form a fuzzy two-sphere witho...
متن کاملPhase Structure of Non-Commutative Field Theories and Spinning Brane Bound States
General spinning brane bound states are constructed, along with their near-horizon limits which are relevant as dual descriptions of non-commutative field theories. For the spinning D-brane world volume theories with a B-field a general analysis of the gauge coupling phase structure is given, exhibiting various novel features, already at the level of zero angular momenta. We show that the therm...
متن کاملNon-commutative Unification in Brane World
We point out that in (open) string compactifications with non-zero NS-NS B-field we can have large Kaluza-Klein thresholds even in the small volume limit. In this limit the corresponding gauge theory description is in terms of a compactification on a non-commutative space (e.g., a torus or an orbifold thereof). Based on this observation we discuss a brane world scenario of noncommutative unific...
