Strings from Flux Tube Solutions in Kaluza-Klein Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We calculate dimensional reduction of gravitational flux tube solutions in the scheme of Kaluza-Klein theory. The fifth dimension is compacified to a region of Planck size. Assuming the width of the tube to be also Planck size we obtain string-like object with physical fields originated from an initial 5D metric. The dynamics of these fields is inner one.

Flux Tube Solutions in Kaluza-Klein Theory
Spherically symmetric, vacuum solutions in 5D and 7D Kaluza-Klein theory are obtained. These solutions are flux tubes with constant cross-sectional size, located between (+) and (-) Kaluza-Klein “electrical” and “magnetic” charges disposed respectively at r = ±∞ and filled with constant Kaluza-Klein “electrical” and “magnetic” fields. These objects are surprisingly similar to the flux tubes whi...
متن کاملWormholes and Flux Tubes in 5D Kaluza-Klein Theory
In this paper spherically symmetric, nonasymptotically flat solutions to 5D Kaluza-Klein theory, with “electric” and/or “magnetic” fields are investigated. It is shown that the global structure of the spacetime depends on the relation between the “electrical” and “magnetic” Kaluza-Klein fields. For small “magnetic” field we find a wormhole-like solution located between two null surfaces. As the...
متن کامل∆−string - a hybrid between wormhole and string
The flux tube solutions in 5D Kaluza-Klein theory can be considered as a string-like object ∆−string. The initial 5D metric can be reduced to some inner degrees of freedom living on the ∆−string. The propagation of electromagnetic waves through the ∆−string is considered. It is shown that the difference between ∆ and ordinary strings are connected with the fact that for the ∆−string such limita...
متن کاملMacroscopic open strings and gravitational confinement
We consider classical solutions for strings ending on magnetically charged black holes in four-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory. We examine the classical superstring and the global vortex, which can be viewed as a nonsingular model for the superstring. We show how both of these can end on a Kaluza-Klein monopole in the absence of self-gravity. Including gravitational back-reaction gives rise to ...
متن کاملNucleation of p-branes and fundamental strings.
We construct a solution to the low-energy string equations of motion in five dimensions that describes a circular loop of fundamental string exponentially expanding in a background electric H-field. Euclideanising this gives an instanton for the creation of a loop of fundamental string in a background H-field, and we calculate the rate of nucleation. Solutions describing magnetically charged st...
