Tubular D-branes in Salam-Sezgin Model
نویسنده
چکیده
We study DBI-type effective theory of an unstable D3-brane in the background manifold R×M2 where M2 is an arbitrary two-dimensional manifold. We obtain an exact tubular D2-brane solution of arbitrary cross sectional shape by employing 1/ cosh tachyon potential. When M2 = S2, the solution is embedded in the background geometry R1,3 × S2 of Salam-Sezgin model. This tachyon potential shows a unique property that an array of tachyon soliton solutions has a fixed period which is independent of integration constants of the equations of motion. The thin BPS limit of the configurations leads to supertubes of arbitrary cross sectional shapes.

3 - Branes and Uniqueness of the Salam - Sezgin Vacuum
We prove the uniqueness of the supersymmetric Salam-Sezgin (Minkowski) 4 ×S 2 ground state among all nonsingular solutions with a four-dimensional Poincaré, de Sitter or anti-de Sitter symmetry. We construct the most general solutions with an axial symmetry in the two-dimensional internal space, and show that included amongst these is a family that is non-singular away from a conical defect at ...
متن کاملBPS D-branes from an Unstable D-brane in a Curved Background
We find exact tachyon kink solutions of DBI type effective action describing an unstable D5-brane with worldvolume gauge field turned on in a curved background. The background of interest is the ten-dimensional lift of the Salam-Sezgin vacuum and, in the asymptotic limit, it approaches R1,4×T2×S3. The solutions are identified as composites of lower-dimensional D-branes and fundamental strings, ...
متن کاملA String and M - theory Origin for the Salam - Sezgin Model
An M/string-theory origin for the six-dimensional Salam-Sezgin chiral gauged super-gravity is obtained, by embedding it as a consistent Pauli-type reduction of type I or het-erotic supergravity on the non-compact hyperboloid H 2,2. We can also obtain embeddings of larger, non-chiral, gauged supergravities in six dimensions, whose consistent truncation yields the Salam-Sezgin theory. The lift of...
متن کاملKicking the Rugby Ball: Perturbations of 6D Gauged Chiral Supergravity
We analyze the axially-symmetric scalar perturbations of 6D chiral gauged supergravity compactified on the general warped geometries in the presence of two source branes. We find all of the conical geometries are marginally stable for normalizable perturbations (in disagreement with some recent calculations) and the nonconical for regular perturbations, even though none of them are supersymmetr...
متن کاملStrings and D - Branes with Boundaries
The covariant field equations of ten-dimensional super D-branes are obtained by considering fundamental strings whose ends lie in the superworldsurface of the D-brane. By considering in a similar fashion Dp-branes ending on D(p + 2)-branes we derive equations describing D-branes with dual potentials, as well as the vector potentials.
