Open Strings on AdS2 Branes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the spectrum of open strings on AdS2 branes in AdS3 in an NS-NS background, using the SL(2, R) WZW model. When the brane carries no fundamental string charge, the open string spectrum is the holomorphic square root of the spectrum of closed strings in AdS3. It contains short and long strings, and is invariant under spectral flow. When the brane carries fundamental string charge, the open string spectrum again contains short and long strings in all winding sectors. However, branes with fundamental string charge break half the spectral flow symmetry. This has different implications for short and long strings. As the fundamental string charge increases, the brane approaches the boundary of AdS3. In this limit, the induced electric field on the worldvolume reaches its critical value, producing noncommutative open string theory on AdS2.

Crosscap States for Orientifolds of Euclidean AdS3
We propose the crosscap states for orientifolds of Euclidean AdS3. We show that our crosscap states reproduce the geometry of orientifolds, which is AdS2. The spectral density of open strings in the system with orientifold can be read from the Möbius strip amplitudes and is compared to that of the open strings stretched between branes and their mirrors. We also compute the Klein bottle amplitud...
متن کاملOn the Various Types of D-Branes in the Boundary H3 Model
We comment on the D-brane solutions for the boundary H 3 model that have been proposed so far and point out that many more types of Dbranes should be considered possible. We start a systematic derivation of the 1/2and b/2-shift equations corresponding to each type. These equations serve as consistency conditions and we discuss their possible solutions. On this basis, we show for the known AdS (...
متن کاملEntropy of near-extremal black holes in AdS5
We construct the microstates of near-extremal black holes in AdS5 × S5 as gases of defects distributed in heavy BPS operators in the dual SU(N) Yang–Mills theory. These defects describe open strings on spherical D3-branes in the S5, and we show that they dominate the entropy by directly enumerating them and comparing the results with a partition sum calculation. We display new decoupling limits...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Branes in PP Wave Background
We consider the matrix model associated with pp-wave background and construct supersymmetric branes. In addition to the spherical membrane preserving 16 supersymmetries, one may construct rotating elliptic membranes preserving 8 supersymmetries. The other branch describes rotating 1/8 BPS hyperbolic branes in general. When the angular momentum vanishes, the hyperbolic brane becomes 1/4 BPS pres...
متن کاملBoundary States for AdS 2 Branes in AdS 3
We construct boundary states for the AdS2 D-branes in AdS3. We show that, in the semiclassical limit, the boundary states correctly reproduce geometric configurations of these branes. We use the boundary states to compute the one loop free energy of open string stretched between the branes. The result agrees precisely with the open string computation in hep-th/0106129.
