Exact absorption probabilities for the D3-brane
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a minimal scalar in the presence of a three-brane in ten dimensions. The linearized equation of motion, which is just the wave equation in the three-brane metric, can be solved in terms of associated Mathieu functions. An exact expression for the reflection and absorption probabilities can be obtained in terms of the characteristic exponent of Mathieu’s equation. We describe an algorithm for obtaining the low-energy behavior as a series expansion, and discuss the implications for the world-volume theory of D3-branes.

Greybody Factors for Brane Scalar Fields in a Rotating Black-Hole Background
We study the evaporation of (4+n)-dimensional rotating black holes into scalar degrees of freedom on the brane. We calculate the corresponding absorption probabilities and cross-sections obtaining analytic solutions in the low-energy regime, and compare the derived analytic expressions to numerical results, with very good agreement. We then consider the high-energy regime, construct an analytic...
متن کاملSelf-duality in Super D3-brane Action
We establish self-duality of super D3-brane theory as an exact symmetry of the action both in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism. In the Lagrangian formalism, the action is shown to satisfy the Gaillard-Zumino condition. This algebraic relation is recognized in our previous paper to be a necessary and sufficient condition for generic action of U(1) gauge field strength coupled with gravit...
متن کاملDynamics of the DBI Spike Soliton
We compare oscillations of a fundamental string ending on a D3-brane in two different settings: (1) a test-string radially threading the horizon of an extremal black D3-brane and (2) the spike soliton of the DBI effective action for a D3-brane. Previous work has shown that overall transverse modes of the test-string appear as l = 0 modes of the transverse scalar fields of the DBI system. We ide...
متن کاملExact maximum coverage probabilities of confidence intervals with increasing bounds for Poisson distribution mean
A Poisson distribution is well used as a standard model for analyzing count data. So the Poisson distribution parameter estimation is widely applied in practice. Providing accurate confidence intervals for the discrete distribution parameters is very difficult. So far, many asymptotic confidence intervals for the mean of Poisson distribution is provided. It is known that the coverag...
متن کاملOn Exact Noncommutative BPS Solitons
We construct new exact BPS solitons in various noncommutative gauge theories by the “gauge” transformation of known BPS solitons. This “gauge” transformation introduced by Harvey et al. adds localized solitons to the known soliton. These solitons include, for example, the bound state of the noncommutative Abelian monopole and the N fluxons at threshold. This corresponds, in superstring theories...
