Closed string radiation from moving D-branes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compute the amplitude for the radiation of massless NS-NS closed string states from the interaction of two moving D-branes. We consider particle-like D-branes with reference to 4-dimensional spacetime, in toroidal and orbifold compactifications, and we work out the relevant world sheet propagators within the moving boundary state formalism. We find no onshell axion emission. For large inter-brane separation, we compute the spacetime graviton emission amplitude and estimate the average energy radiated, whereas the spacetime dilaton amplitude is found to vanish in this limit. The possibility of emission of other massless states depends on the nature of the branes and of the compactification scheme. PACS: 11.25.-w

Scattering of Strings from D-branes
We review a number of perturbative calculations describing the interactions of D-branes with massless elementary string states. The form factors for the scattering of closed strings off D-branes are closely related to the Veneziano amplitude. They show that, in interactions with strings, D-branes acquire many of their physical features: the effective size of D-branes is of order the string scal...
متن کاملAnomalous Couplings of Type 0 D-branes
Closed type 0 string theories and their D-branes are introduced. The full Wess-Zumino action of these D-branes is derived. The analogy with type II is emphasized throughout the argument. Type 0 Strings and D-branes. Type 0 string theory is a nonsupersymmetric, modular invariant theory of closed strings. The presence of a tachyonic state in their spectrum makes type 0 strings much harder to anal...
متن کاملBoundary States for Supertubes in Flat Spacetime and Gödel Universe
We construct boundary states for supertubes in the flat spacetime. Since the T-dual objects of supertubes are moving spiral D1-branes (D-helices), which we can obtain from the usual D1-branes via null deformation, we can construct the boundary states for these moving D-helices in the covariant formalism. Using these boundary states, we calculate the vacuum amplitude between two supertubes in th...
متن کاملD-branes and Closed String Field Theory
D-branes have been studied for many years and used to reveal nonperturbative aspects of string theory. As A. Sen argued, D-branes can be realized as soliton solutions in open string field theory. Now some of his conjectures1 have been proved analytically2 in Witten’s open string field theory.3 What we would like to discuss here is how D-branes can be realized in closed string field theory.

متن کاملD Branes and Phases on String Worldsheet
We generalize the worldsheet derivation of the topological open/closed string duality given in hep-th/0205297 to cases when there are different types of D branes on the open string side. We use the mirror Landau-Ginzburg description to clarify the correspondence between D branes on the open string side and C phases on the closed string side. We also discuss the duality from the point of view of...
