NS Fivebrane and Tachyon Condensation

Debashis Ghoshal, Dileep P. Jatkar, Maximilian Kreuzer

We argue that a semi-infinite D6-brane ending on an NS5-brane can be obtained from the condensation of the tachyon on the unstable D9-brane of type IIA theory. The construction use…

Cyclicity of non-associative products on D-branes

M. Herbst, A. Kling, M. Kreuzer

The non-commutative geometry of deformation quantization appears in string theory through the effect of a B-field background on the dynamics of D-branes in the topological limit. F…

On the nature of the anomalies in the supersymmetric kink

Kazuo Fujikawa, Anton Rebhan, Peter van Nieuwenhuizen

We discuss the possibility to absorb all anomalies in the supersymmetry algebra of the N=(1,1) Wess-Zumino model in d=1+1 by a local counter term. This counter term corresponds to…

Instanton Solutions for the Universal Hypermultiplet

M. Davidse, M. de Vroome, U. Theis +1

We expand our previous analysis on fivebrane and membrane instanton solutions in the universal hypermultiplet, including near-extremal multi-centered solutions and mixed fivebrane-…

Nonvanishing quantum corrections to the mass and central charge of the N=2 vortex and BPS saturation

A. Rebhan, P. van Nieuwenhuizen, R. Wimmer

The one-loop quantum corrections to the mass and central charge of the N=2 vortex in 2+1 dimensions are determined using supersymmetry-preserving dimensional regularization by dime…

Positive specific heat of the quantum corrected dilaton black hole

D. Grumiller, W. Kummer, D. V. Vassilevich

Path integral quantization of dilaton gravity in two dimensions is applied to the CGHS model to the first nontrivial order in matter loops. Our approach is background independent a…
