Thermal D-brane boundary states from type IIB Green-Schwarz superstring in pp-wave background

چکیده
We construct the thermal boundary states from the type IIB Green-Schwarz superstring in pp-wave background in the light-cone gauge. The superstring is treated in the canonical ensemble and in the TFD formalism which is appropriate to discuss canonically quantized systems. The thermal boundary states are obtained by thermalizing the total boundary states which are the boundary states of the total system that is composed by the superstring modes and the corresponding thermal reservoir modes. That analysis is similar to the one in the flat spacetime case [67]. However, there are some subtleties concerning the construction of the total string which are discussed. Next, we compute the entropy of thermal boundary state which is defined as the expectation value of the superstring entropy operator in the thermal boundary state.

– an Overview –
We briefly review a covariant analysis of D-branes of type IIB superstring on the AdS5×S 5 background from the κ-invariance of the Green-Schwarz string action. The possible configurations of D-branes preserving half of supersymmetries are classified in both cases of AdS5×S 5 and the pp-wave background.

We construct the covariant κ-symmetric superstring action for type IIB superstring on plane wave space supported by Ramond-Ramond background. The action is defined as a 2d sigma-model on the coset superspace. We fix the fermionic and bosonic light-cone gauges in the covariant Green-Schwarz superstring action and find the light-cone string Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian. The resulting light-cone...
متن کاملThermal D-Brane Boundary States from Green-Schwarz Superstrings
In this paper we thermalize the type II superstrings in the GS formulation by applying the TFD formalism. The thermal boundary conditions on the thermal Hilbert space are obtained from the BPS D-brane boundary conditions at zero temperature. We show that thermal boundary states can be obtained by thermalization from the BPS D-branes at zero temperature. These new states can be interpreted as th...
متن کاملOn D-Brane Boundary State Analysis in Pure Spinor Formalism
We explore a particular approach to study D-brane boundary states in Berkovits’ pure spinor formalism of superstring theories. In this approach one constructs the boundary states in the relevant conformal field theory by relaxing the pure spinor constraints. This enables us to write down the open string boundary conditions for non-BPS D-branes in type II string theories, generalizing our previo...
متن کاملD-Brane Solutions in pp-wave Background
We present classical solutions for a D5 and NS5-branes in a pp-wave background. The worldvolume coordinates for these branes lie along a six dimensional pp-wave configuration obtained from AdS3 × S3 in a Penrose limit. One in addition has nontrivial R-R 3-form field strength as well as a dilaton background. Classical solutions for Dp-branes (p > 5), as well as their bound states, are then gener...
