Deep throat D-branes

چکیده
We exhibit bound states in the spectrum of non-compact D-branes in N = 2 Liouville conformal field theory. We interpret these states in the study of D-branes in the near-horizon limit of Neveu-Schwarz five-branes spread on a topologically trivial circle. We match semiclassical di-electric and repulsion effects with exact conformal field theory results and describe the fate of D-branes hitting NS5-branes. We also show that the bound states can give rise to massless vector and hyper multiplets in a low-energy gauge theory on D-branes deep inside the throat.

D-Brane Dynamics Near NS5-Branes
We use the Dirac-Born-Infeld action to study the real time dynamics of a Dp-brane propagating in the vicinity of NS5-branes. This problem is closely related to tachyon condensation on an unstable D-brane, with the role of the tachyon played by the radial mode on the D-brane. As the D-brane approaches the fivebranes, its equation of state approaches that of a pressureless fluid. The pressure goe...
متن کاملOn D3-brane Potentials in Compactifications with Fluxes and Wrapped D-branes
We study the potential governing D3-brane motion in a warped throat region of a string compactification with internal fluxes and wrapped D-branes. If the Kähler moduli of the compact space are stabilized by nonperturbative effects, a D3-brane experiences a force due to its interaction with D-branes wrapping certain four-cycles. We compute this interaction, as a correction to the warped four-cyc...
متن کاملInflation on an Open Racetrack
We present a variant of warped D-brane inflation by incorporating multiple sets of holomorphically embedded D7-branes involved in moduli stabilization with extent into a warped throat. The resultant D3-brane motion depends on the D7-brane configuration and the relative position of the D3-brane in these backgrounds. The non-perturbative moduli stabilization superpotential takes the racetrack for...
متن کاملOn supersymmetry breaking in string theory from gauge theory in a throat
We embed the supersymmetry breaking mechanism in N = 1 SQCD of hepth/0602239 in a smooth superstring theory using D-branes in the background IR × SL(2)k=1/U(1) which smoothly captures the throat region of an intersecting NS5-brane configuration. A controllable deformation of the supersymmetric branes gives rise to the mass deformation of the magnetic SQCD theory on the branes. The consequent in...
متن کاملD̄-brane as Dark Matter in Warped String Compactification
It is pointed out that in the warped string compactification, motion of D̄-branes near the bottom of a throat behaves like dark matter. Several scenarios for production of the dark matter are suggested, including one based on the D/D̄ interaction at the late stage of D/D̄ inflation. UTAP-525, RESCEU-8/05
