DF-strings from D3D̄3 as Cosmic Strings
نویسنده
چکیده
We study Dirac-Born-Infeld type effective field theory of a complex tachyon and U(1)×U(1) gauge fields describing a D3D̄3 system. Classical solutions of straight global and local DFstrings with quantized vorticity are found and are classified into two types by the asymptotic behavior of the tachyon amplitude. For sufficiently large radial distances, one has linearlygrowing tachyon amplitude and the other logarithmically-growing tachyon amplitude. A constant radial electric flux density denoting the fundamental-string background makes the obtained DF-strings thick. The other electric flux density parallel to the strings is localized, which represents localization of fundamental strings in the D1-F1 bound states. Since these DF-strings are formed in the coincidence limit of the D3D̄3, these cosmic DF-strings are safe from inflation induced by the approach of the separated D3 and D̄3.

Cosmic D- and DF-strings from D3D̄3: Black Strings and BPS Bound
We study Dand DF-strings from D3D̄3 in the context of Dirac-Born-Infeld type effective field theory. In the presence of an electric flux from a transverse direction, gravitating thick D-string solutions form a spatial manifold, S2×R1, and straight D-strings stretched along the R1 direction are located at the south and north poles of the two-sphere. There is a horizon along its equator and then t...

We study Dand DF-strings in a D3D̄3 system in the context of Dirac-Born-Infeld type effective field theory. In the presence of an electric flux from a transverse direction, we discuss gravitating thick D-string solutions of a spatial manifold, S2 × R1, in which straight D-strings stretched along the R1 direction are attached to the south and north poles of the two-sphere. There is a horizon alon...

Codimension-two objects on a system of brane-antibrane are studied in the context of Born-Infeld type effective field theory with a complex tachyon and U(1)×U(1) gauge fields. When the radial electric field is turned on in D2D̄2, we find static regular global and local D-vortex solutions which could be candidates of straight cosmic D-strings in a superstring theory. A natural extension to DF-str...
متن کاملConstraints on Cosmic Strings from the LIGO-Virgo Gravitational Wave Detectors
Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising observational signature. In this Letter we present a search for GWs from cosmic string cusps in data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors between 2005 and 2010, with over 625 days of live time. ...
متن کاملCosmic Strings
Cosmic strings belong to the basic extremals of the Kähler action. The upper bound for string tension of the cosmic strings is T ' .5 × 10−6/G and in the same range as the string tension of GUT strings and this makes them very interesting cosmologically although TGD cosmic strings have otherwise practically nothing to do with their GUT counterparts.
