Field Theory Supertubes

چکیده
Starting with intersecting M2-branes in M-theory, the IIA supertube can be found by S compactification followed by a boost to the speed of light in the 11th dimension. A similar procedure applied to DonaldsonUhlenbeck-Yau instantons on C, viewed as intersecting membranes of D = 7 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory, yields (for finite boost) a new set of 1/4 BPS equations for D = 6 SYM-Higgs theory, and (for infinite boost) a generalization of the dyonic instanton equations of D = 5 SYM-Higgs theory, solutions of which are interpreted as Yang-Mills supertubes and realized as configurations of IIB string theory. ⋆ Contribution to “Strings 2004”.

Supertubes in Field Theories
To a domain wall or string object, Noether charge and topological spatial objects can be attracted, forming a composite BPS (Bogomolny-Prasad-Sommerfield) object. We consider two field theories and derive a new BPS bound on composite linear solitons involving multiple charges. Among the BPS objects ‘supertubes’ appear when the wall or string tension is canceled by the bound energy, and could ta...
متن کاملA Geometric Look on the Microstates of Supertubes
We give a geometric interpretation of the entropy of the supertubes with fixed conserved charges and angular momenta in two different approaches using the DBI action and the supermembrane theory. By counting the geometrically allowed microstates, it is shown that both the methods give consistent result on the entropy. In doing so, we make the connection to the gravity microstates clear. 1 Intro...
متن کاملSupertubes versus superconducting tubes
In this paper we show the relationship between cylindrical D2-branes and cylindrical superconducting membranes described by a generic effective action at the bosonic level. In the first case the extended objects considered, arose as blown up type IIA superstrings to D2-branes, named supertubes. In the second one, the cosmological objects arose from some sort of field theories. The Dirac-Born-In...
متن کاملRemoval of closed time-like curves by supertube domain walls
The main claim is that, in the few examples studied, those supergravity solutions are not legitimate solutions of string theory. This is demonstrated by considering certain D-brane objects (supertubes [5]) in these background. Those supertubes may be taken as the building blocks of those geometries, and their dynamics cease to make sense when their compact direction wraps a closed time-like cur...
متن کاملPhase Moduli Space of Supertubes
We study possible deformations of BPS supertubes keeping their conserved charges fixed. We show that there is no flat direction to closed supertubes of circular cross section with uniform electric and magnetic fields, and also to open planar supertubes. We also find that there are continuously infinite flat deformations to supertubes of general shape under certain conditions.
