چکیده
The boundary states for AdS 2 D-branes in Lorentzian AdS 3 space-time are presented. AdS 2 D-branes are algebraically defined by twisted Dirichlet boundary conditions and are located on twisted conjugacy classes of SL(2,R). Using free field representation of symmetry currents in the SL(2,R) WZNW model, the twisted Dirichlet gluing conditions among currents are translated to matching conditions among free fields and then to boundary conditions among the modes of free fields. The Ishibashi states are written as coherent states on AdS 3 in the free field formalism and it is shown that twisted Dirichlet boundary conditions are satisfied on them. The tree-level amplitude of propagation of closed strings between two AdS 2 D-branes is evaluated and by comparing which to the characters of sl(2,R) Kac-Moody algebra it is shown that only states in the principal continuous series representation of sl(2,R) Kac-Moody algebra contributes to the amplitude and thus they are the only ones that couple to AdS 2 D-branes. The form of the character of sl(2,R) principal continuous series and the boundary condition among the zero modes are used to determine the physical boundary states for AdS 2 D-branes.

Boundary States for AdS 2 Branes in AdS 3
We construct boundary states for the AdS2 D-branes in AdS3. We show that, in the semiclassical limit, the boundary states correctly reproduce geometric configurations of these branes. We use the boundary states to compute the one loop free energy of open string stretched between the branes. The result agrees precisely with the open string computation in hep-th/0106129.
متن کاملD-branes in Lorentzian AdS3
We study the exact construction of D-branes in Lorentzian AdS3. We start by defining a family of conformal field theories that gives a natural Euclidean version of the SL(2,R) CFT and does not correspond to H3 , the analytic continuation of AdS3. We argue that one can recuperate the exact CFT results of Lorentzian AdS3, upon an analytic continuation in the moduli space of these conformal field ...
متن کاملIntersecting Branes and Anti-de Sitter Spacetimes in SU(2)× SU(2) Gauged Supergravity
In this note we extend our work in a previous paper hep-th/9801038. We show here that various intersecting brane-like configurations can be found in the vacuum of D = 4, N = 4 supergravity with gauged R-symmetry group SU(2)×SU(2). These include intersections of domain-walls, strings and pointlike objects. Some of these intersecting configurations preserve 1/2 and 1/4 of supersymmetry. We observ...
متن کاملCrosscap States for Orientifolds of Euclidean AdS3
We propose the crosscap states for orientifolds of Euclidean AdS3. We show that our crosscap states reproduce the geometry of orientifolds, which is AdS2. The spectral density of open strings in the system with orientifold can be read from the Möbius strip amplitudes and is compared to that of the open strings stretched between branes and their mirrors. We also compute the Klein bottle amplitud...
متن کاملOpen Strings on AdS2 Branes
We study the spectrum of open strings on AdS2 branes in AdS3 in an NS-NS background, using the SL(2, R) WZW model. When the brane carries no fundamental string charge, the open string spectrum is the holomorphic square root of the spectrum of closed strings in AdS3. It contains short and long strings, and is invariant under spectral flow. When the brane carries fundamental string charge, the op...
