D-branes as GMS Solitons in Vacuum String Field Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we map the D-brane projector states in the vacuum string field theory to the noncommutative GMS solitons based on the recently proposed map of Witten’s star to Moyal’s star. After properly regularizing the mid-point singularity of the sliver states in the Moyal basis, we reproduce the singular geometry conditions of Moore and Taylor in our framework. The properties of the candidate closed string state and the wedge state are also discussed, and the possibility of the non-GMS soliton in VSFT is commented.

Vacuum String Field Theory ancestors of the GMS solitons
We define a sequence of VSFT D–branes whose low energy limit leads exactly to a corresponding sequence of GMS solitons. The D–branes are defined by acting on a fixed VSFT lump with operators defined by means of Laguerre polynomials whose argument is quadratic in the string creation operators. The states obtained in this way form an algebra under the SFT star product, which is isomorphic to a co...
متن کاملD-branes and Strings as Non-commutative Solitons
The non-commutative geometry of a large auxiliary B-field simplifies the construction of D-branes as solitons in open string field theory. Similarly, fundamental strings are constructed as localized flux tubes in the string field theory. Tensions are determined exactly using general properties of non-BPS branes, and the non-Abelian structure of General arguments [1,2,3], explicit calculations i...
متن کاملTensionless Branes and Discrete Gauge Symmetry
We argue that the tensionless branes found recently on non-BPS D-branes using non-commutative field theory are in fact gauge equivalent to the vacuum under a discrete gauge symmetry. We also give a simple construction of the D(2p)-branes in IIA theory starting from a single non-BPS D9-brane. It has been shown recently that D-branes can be constructed as exact solitons in open string field theor...
متن کاملExact Noncommutative Solitons
We find exact solitons in a large class of noncommutative gauge theories using a simple solution generating technique. The solitons in the effective field theory description of open string field theory are interpreted as D-branes for any value of the noncommutativity. We discuss the vacuum structure of open string field theory in view of our results.
متن کاملNoncommutative Solitons and Intersecting D-Branes
Brane configurations that contain a tachyonic mode are unstable and will decay. The decay modes vary depending on the unstable D-brane configurations involved ~see the reviews @1–3#!. In bosonic string theory, all D-branes are unstable. The tachyon on the brane may condense to solitonic solutions of the open string tachyon field theory. These solitons have been noted to correspond to lower dime...
