Noncommutative Geometry from Strings and Branes

چکیده
Noncommutative torus compactification of Matrix model is shown to be a direct consequence of quantization of the open strings attached to a D-membrane with a nonvanishing background B field. We calculate the BPS spectrum of such a brane system using both string theory results and DBI action. The DBI action leads to a new transformation property of the compactification radii under the SL(2, Z)N transformations. 1 E-mail: ardalan, arfaei, [email protected] 1

Nonabelian D-branes and Noncommutative Geometry
We discuss the nonabelian world-volume action which governs the dynamics of N coincident Dp-branes. In this theory, the branes’ transverse displacements are described by matrix-valued scalar fields, and so this is a natural physical framework for the appearance of noncommutative geometry. One example is the dielectric effect by which Dp-branes may be polarized into a noncommutative geometry by ...
متن کاملExact Tachyon Condensation on Nocommutative Torus
We construct exact noncommutative solutions on tori. This gives an exact description of tachyon condensation on bosonic D-branes, non-BPS D-branes and brane-antibrane systems. We obtain various bound states of D-branes after the tachyon condensation. Our results show that these solutions can be generated by applying the gauge Morita equivalence. We also discuss a general framework of the noncom...
متن کاملNoncommutative Geometry and D - Branes
We apply noncommutative geometry to a system of N parallel D-branes, which is interpreted as a quantum space. The Dirac operator defining the quantum differential calculus is identified to be the zero-momentum mode of the supercharge for strings connecting D-branes. As a result of the calculus, Connes' Yang-Mills action functional on the quantum space reproduces the dimensionally reduced U(N) s...
متن کاملD-Branes in Curved Space
We obtain actions for N D-branes occupying points in a manifold with arbitrary Kähler metric. In one complex dimension, the action is uniquely determined (up to second order in commutators) by the requirement that it reproduce the masses of stretched strings and by imposing supersymmetry. These conditions are very restrictive in higher dimensions as well. The results provide a noncommutative ex...
متن کاملNoncommutative Geometry from String Theory: Annulus Corrections
We develop a method in which it is possible to calculate one loop corrections to the noncommutativity parameter found for open strings in a background Fμν field. We first reproduce the well known disk results for θ μν . We then consider the case of charged and neutral open strings on the brane, and show in both cases that the result is the same as in the disk case, apart from a multiplicative f...
