Cosmology and two-body problem of D-branes

چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the dynamics and the evolution of the scale factor of a probe Dpbrane which move in the background of source Dp-branes. Action of the probe brane is described by the Born-Infeld action and the interaction with the background R-R field. When the probe brane moves away from the source branes, it expands by power law, whose index depends on the dimension of the brane. If the energy density of the gauge field on the brane is subdominant, the expansion is decelerating irrespective of the dimension of the brane. On the other hand, when the probe brane is a Nambu-Goto brane, the energy density of the gauge field can be dominant, in which case accelerating expansion occurs for p ≤ 4. The accelerating expansion stops when the brane has expanded sufficiently so that the energy density of the gauge field become subdominant.

The Benefits of String Cosmology
In this paper we discuss D-Brane/Antibrane inflation as a concrete example of a bottom-up approach in string cosmology. After introducing the standard cosmology, inflation, we turn to the dynamics of D-branes, and find that an open string mode between the branes becomes tachyonic when the branes get to a critical distance. We then obtain a realization of hybrid inflation with two relevant field...
متن کاملD-branes and Cosmology
D-branes, topological defects in string theory on which string endpoints can live, may give new insight into the understanding of the cosmological evolution of the Universe at early epochs. We analyze the dynamics of D-branes in curved backgrounds and discuss the parameter space of M-theory as a function of the coupling constant and of the curvature of the Universe. We show that D-branes may be...
متن کاملYukawa cosmology and intersecting brane models
In string theory, stabilization of moduli fields and their cosmological implications have been discussed by many authors. In this paper we do not consider conventional modulus, nor relative distance between two branes. We focus our attention to a relative position of three branes and discuss its cosmological problem. In general, stabilization of the relative position of three intersecting brane...
متن کاملA note on the singularity theorem for supergravity SD-branes
Recently, a singularity theorem for full SD-brane spacetimes was given in hepth/0305055. We comment on the relation between this and previous work as well as provide a more geometric formulation interpreted as a no-go theorem. We then point out that some setups of physical interest escape the theorem: cosmological applications, half-SDp-branes and decaying unstable Dp-branes for general p. We a...
متن کاملRemarks on Tachyon Driven Cosmology
We begin by reviewing the results on the decay of unstable D-branes in type II string theory, and the open-closed string duality proposal that arises from these studies. We then apply this proposal to the study of tachyon driven cosmology, namely cosmological solutions describing the decay of unstable space filling D-branes. This naturally gives rise to a time reversal invariant bounce solution...
متن کاملIntersecting Brane Models and Cosmology
We discuss the application of general features of intersecting brane model constructions in cosmology. In particular, we describe a scenario for D-term inflation which arises straightforwardly in IBM constructions wherein open non-vectorlike strings play the role of the inflaton. We also show that baryogenesis driven by hidden sector mixed anomalies can naturally arise in intersecting brane mod...
