Instabilities of D-brane Bound States and Their Related Theories

چکیده
We investigate the Gregory-Laflamme instability for bound states of branes in type II string theory and in M-theory. We examine systems with two different constituent branes: for instance, D3-F1 or D4-D0. For the cases in which the Gregory-Laflamme instability can occur, we describe the boundary of thermodynamic stability. We also present an argument for the validity of the Correlated Stability Conjecture, generalizing earlier work by Reall. We discuss the implications for OM theory and NCOS theory, finding that in both cases, there exists some critical temperature above which the system becomes unstable to clumping of the open strings/membranes.

Delocalized Supergravity Solutions for Brane/Anti-brane Systems and their Bound States
We obtain various solutions for D = 4 dipoles and their bound states whose U(1) fields originate from various form fields in the effective string theories. We oxidize such dipole solutions to D = 10 to obtain delocalized supergravity solutions for the brane/anti-brane pairs and their bound states. We speculate on generalized harmonic superposition rules for supergravity solutions for (intersect...
متن کاملNon-commutative D- and M-brane Bound States
We analyze certain brane bound states in M-theory and their descendants in type IIA string theory, all involving 3-form or 2-form background fluxes. Among them are configurations which represent NCYM, NCOS and ODp-theories in the scaling limit of OM-theory. In particular, we show how the conditions for the embedding to preserve supersymmetry are modified by the presence of the flux and discuss ...
متن کاملBPS bound states , supermembranes , and T - duality in M - theory ∗ Jorge
This is an introductory review on the eleven-dimensional description of the BPS bound states of type II superstring theories, and on the role of supermembranes in M-theory. The first part describes classical solutions of 11d supergravity which upon dimensional reduction and T-dualities give bound states of NS-NS and R-R p-branes of type IIA and IIB string theories. In some cases (e.g. (q1, q2) ...

متن کاملStability of D brane Anti D brane Systems in Confining Gauge Theories
We study the stability of a special form of D brane embedding which is regarded as a bound state of Dn and anti-Dn-brane embedded in a 10D supergravity background which is dual to a confining gauge theory. For D5 branes with U(1) flux, their bound state configuration can be regarded as the baryonium vertex. For D branes of n=6 and 8 without the U(1) flux, their bound states have been used to in...
