Duality Cascade and Oblique Phases in Non-Commutative Open String Theory

چکیده
We investigate the complete phase diagram of the decoupled world-sheet theory of (P,Q) strings. These theories include 1+1 dimensional super Yang-Mills theory and non-commutative open string theory. We find that the system exhibits a rich fractal phase structure, including a cascade of alternating supergravity, gauge theory, and matrix string theory phases. The cascade proceeds via a series of SL(2,Z) S-duality transformations, and depends sensitively on P and Q. In particular, we find that the system may undergo multiple Hagedorn-type transitions as the temperature is varied.

Open Branes in Space-Time Non-Commutative Little String Theory
We conjecture the existence of two new non-gravitational six-dimensional string theories, defined as the decoupling limit of NS5-branes in the background of critical electrical twoand three-form RR fields. These theories are spacetime non-commutative Little String Theories with open branes. The theory with (2, 0) supersymmetry has an open membrane in the spectrum and reduces to OM theory at low...
متن کاملNoncommutative Yang-Mills Theory
We investigate asymptotic behaviors of the strong coupling limit in the N = 2 supersymmetric non-commutative Yang-Mills theory. The strong coupling behavior is quite different from the commutative one since the non-commutative dual U(1) theory is asymptotic free, although the monodoromy is the same as that of the ordinary theory. Singularities are produced by infinitely heavy monopoles and dyon...
متن کاملNon-commutative Unification in Brane World
We point out that in (open) string compactifications with non-zero NS-NS B-field we can have large Kaluza-Klein thresholds even in the small volume limit. In this limit the corresponding gauge theory description is in terms of a compactification on a non-commutative space (e.g., a torus or an orbifold thereof). Based on this observation we discuss a brane world scenario of noncommutative unific...
متن کاملNon-Commutative Open Strings at strong coupling
Two dimensional Non-Commutative Open String (NCOS) theory, well-defined perturbatively, may also be studied at strong coupling and for large D-string charge by making use of the Holographic duality. We analyze the zero mode dynamics of a closed string in the appropriate background geometry and map the results onto a sector of strongly coupled NCOS dynamics. We find an elaborate classical pictur...
متن کاملThe Phases of 2D NCOS
We study the phases of the 1+1 dimensional Non-Commutative Open String theory on a circle. We find that the length scale of non-commutativity increases at strong coupling, the coupling in turn being dressed by a power of D-string charge. The system is stringy at around this length scale, with dynamics involving an interplay between the open and wrapped closed strings sectors. Above this energy ...
