Closed strings from nothing
Matthew Kleban, Albion Lawrence, Stephen Shenker
We study the physics of open strings in bosonic and type II string theories in the presence of unstable D-branes. When the potential energy of the open string tachyon is at its min…
D-branes in Massive IIA and Solitons in Chern-Simons Theory
John H. Brodie
We investigate D2-branes and D4-branes parallel to D8-branes. The low energy world volume theory on the branes is non-supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory. We identify the fundamenta…
How Bob Laughlin Tamed the Giant Graviton from Taub-NUT space
B. A. Bernevig, J. Brodie, L. Susskind +1
In this paper we show how two dimensional electron systems can be modeled by strings interacting with D-branes. The dualities of string theory allow several descriptions of the sys…
Gauge Symmetry and Localized Gravity in M Theory
Nemanja Kaloper, Eva Silverstein, Leonard Susskind
We discuss the possibility of having gravity ``localized'' in dimension d in a system where gauge bosons propagate in dimension d+1. In such a circumstance - depending on the rate…
Mirror symmetry for open strings
Shamit Kachru, Sheldon Katz, Albion Lawrence +1
We discuss the generation of superpotentials in four-dimensional, N = 1 supersymmetric field theories arising from type IIA D6-branes wrapped on supersymmetric three-cycles of a Ca…
Light-Cone Representation of the Spin and Orbital Angular Momentum of Relativistic Composite Systems
Stanley J. Brodsky, Dae Sung Hwang, Bo-Qiang Ma +1
The matrix elements of local operators such as the electromagnetic current, the energy momentum tensor, angular momentum, and the moments of structure functions have exact represen…
