Membrane and Noncommutativity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyse the dynamics of an open membrane, both for the free case and when it is coupled to a background three-form, whose boundary is attached to p-branes. The role of boundary conditions and constraints in the Nambu-Goto and Polyakov formulations is studied. The low-energy approximation that effectively reduces the membrane to an open string is examined in detail. Noncommutative features of the boundary string coordinates, where the cylindrical membrane is attached to the Dp-branes, are revealed by algebraic consistency arguments and not by treating boundary conditions as primary constraints, as is usually done. The exact form of the noncommutative algebra is obtained in the low-energy limit.

NONCOMMUTATIVITY OF BOUNDARY CLOSED STRING COORDINATES FOR AN OPEN MEMBRANE ON p-BRANE
We study the dynamics of an open membrane with a cylindrical topology, in the background of a constant three form. We use the action, due to Bergshoeff, London and Townsend, to study the noncommutativity properties of the boundary string coordinates. The constrained Hamiltonian formalism due to Dirac is used to derive the noncommutativity of coordinates. The chain of constraints is found to be ...
متن کاملLight-like noncommutativity and duality from open strings/branes
In this paper we perform some non-trivial tests for the recently obtained open membrane/Dbrane metrics and ‘generalized’ noncommutativity parameters using Dp/NS5/M5-branes which have been deformed by light-like fields. The results obtained give further evidence that these open membrane/D-brane metrics and ‘generalized’ noncommutativity parameters are correct. Further, we use the open brane data...
متن کاملNoncommutativity of Boundary String Coordinates
We study the dynamics of an open membrane with a cylindrical topology, in the background of a constant three form, whose boundary is attached to p-branes. The boundary closed string is coupled to a two form potential to ensure gauge invariance. We use the action, due to Bergshoeff, London and Townsend, to study the noncommutativity properties of the boundary string coordinates. The constrained ...
متن کاملReduction of open membrane moduli
We perform a general reduction of the open membrane metric in a worldvolume direction of the M5-brane. Using reduction rules analogous to the bulk, we show that the open membrane metric leads to the standard open string metric and open string coupling constant on the D4-brane only for an “electric” reduction in which case the open membrane metric has no off-diagonal components and the Born-Infe...
متن کاملLPT-ORSAY 02-45 Dynamical Noncommutativity
We present a model of Moyal-type noncommutativity with timedepending noncommutativity parameter and the exact gauge invariant action for the U(1) noncommutative gauge theory. We briefly result the results of the analysis of plane-wave propagation in a regime of a small but rapidly changing noncommutativity.
متن کاملOn β–deformations and Noncommutativity
We elucidate the connection between the N = 1 β–deformed SYM theory and noncommutativity. Our starting point is the T–duality generating transformation involved in constructing the gravity duals of both β–deformed and noncommutative gauge theories. We show that the two methods can be identified provided that a particular submatrix of the O(3, 3,R) group element employed in the former case, is i...
