Interaction of moving D-branes on orbifolds
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use the boundary state formalism to study the interaction of two moving identical D-branes in the Type II superstring theory compactified on orbifolds. By computing the velocity dependence of the amplitude in the limit of large separation we can identify the nature of the different forces between the branes. In particular, in the Z3 orbifold case we find a boundary state which is coupled only to the N = 2 graviton multiplet containing just a graviton and a vector like in the extremal Reissner-Nordström configuration. We also discuss other cases including T4/Z2. PACS: 11.25.-w

SISSA REF 140/97/EP Aspects of D-branes dynamics on orbifolds
We discuss D-brane dynamics in orbifold compactifications of type II superstring theory. We compute the interaction potential between two D-branes moving with constant velocities and give a field theory interpretation of it in the large distance limit. Talk presented by Claudio A. Scrucca

متن کاملRamond-ramond Fields, Fractional Branes and Orbifold Differential K-theory
We study D-branes and Ramond-Ramond fields on global orbifolds of Type II string theory with vanishing H-flux using methods of equivariant K-theory and K-homology. We illustrate how Bredon equivariant cohomology naturally realizes stringy orbifold cohomology. We emphasize its role as the correct cohomological tool which captures known features of the low-energy effective field theory, and which...
متن کاملNoncommutative Solitons on Orbifolds
In the noncommutative field theory of open strings in a B-field, D-branes arise as solitons described as projection operators or partial isometries in a C * algebra. We discuss how D-branes on orbifolds fit naturally into this algebraic framework, through the examples of IR n /G, T n = IR n /Z Z n , and T n /G. We also propose a framework for formulating D
متن کاملBrane Configurations for Three-dimensional Nonabelian Orbifolds
We study brane configurations corresponding to D-branes on complex threedimensional orbifolds C/Γ with Γ = ∆(3n) and ∆(6n), nonabelian finite subgroups of SU(3). The brane configurations consist of D3-branes on webs of (p, q) 5-branes of type IIB string theory. The structure of irreducible representations of the groups ∆(3n) and ∆(6n) can be explained from the brane configurations. We also disc...
