چکیده
Standard methods of nonlinear dynamics are used to investigate the stability of particles, branes and D-branes of abelian Born–Infeld theory. In particular the equation of small fluctuations about the D–brane is derived and converted into a modified Mathieu equation and – complementing earlier low–energy investigations in the case of the dilaton–axion system – studied in the high–energy domain. Explicit expressions are derived for the S–matrix and absorption and reflection amplitudes of the scalar fluctuation in the presence of the D-brane. The results confirm physical expectations and numerical studies of others. With the derivation and use of the (hitherto practically unknown) high energy expansion of the Floquet exponent our considerations also close a gap in earlier treatments of the Mathieu equation.

In this article, we present a fermionic extension of the scalar Born-Infeld equation, which has been derived from the Nambu-Goto superstring action in (2 + 1) dimensions through the Cartesian parameterization. It is demonstrated that in the relativistic limit where c → ∞, the fermionic Born-Infeld model reduces to the supersymmertic Chaplygin gas model in one spatial dimension. However, the sup...

We investigate, in a certain decoupling limit, the effect of having a constant C– field on the M–theory five–brane using an open membrane probe. We define an open membrane metric for the five–brane that remains non–degenerate in the limit. The canonical quantisation of the open membrane boundary leads to a noncommutative loop space which is a functional analogue of the noncommutative geometry t...
