One-Dimensional String Theory with Vortices as Upside-Down Matrix Oscillator
Dmitri Boulatov, Vladimir Kazakov
We study matrix quantum mechanics at a finite temperature equivalent to one dimensional compactified string theory with vortex (winding) excitations. It is explicitly demonstrated…
Nonlinear Realization of Partially Broken N=2 AdS Supersymmetry in Two and Three Dimensions
Masayuki Sano, Tsuneo Uematsu
We investigate the nonlinear realization of partially broken =2 global supersymmetry in the D=2 and 3 anti de-Sitter (AdS) space. We particularly study Nambu-Goldstone degrees o…
Behavior of Cosmological Perturbations in the Brane-World Mode
Hideo Kodama
In this paper we present a gauge-invariant formalism for perturbations of the brane-world model developed by the author, A. Ishibashi and O. Seto recently, and analyze the behavior…
Descent Relation of Tachyon Condensation from Boundary String Field Theory
Sanefumi Moriyama, Shin Nakamura
We analyze how lower-dimensional bosonic D-branes further decay, using the boundary string field theory. Especially we find that the effective tachyon potential of the lower-dimens…
Gravitational waves in cosmological models of Hořava-Witten theory
Osamu Seto, Hideo Kodama
We study the behavior of gravitational waves and their backreaction on the background in cosmological solutions of the five-dimensional Hořava-Witten theory. As a dynamical backgro…
Low-energy propagation modes on string network
Naoki Sasakura
We study low-energy propagation modes on string network lattice. Specifically, we consider an infinite two-dimensional regular hexagonal string network and analyze the low frequenc…
Deconfining Phase Transition in QCD_4 and QED_4 at Finite Temperature
Kentaroh Yoshida
We investigate the deconfining phase transition in QCD_4 and QED_4 at finite temperature using a perturbative deformation of topological quantum field theory (TQFT). A modified max…
Landau-Ginzburg Description of D-branes on ALE Spaces
Jiro Hashiba, Michihiro Naka
We study the Landau-Ginzburg (LG) mirror theory of the non-linear sigma model on the ALE space obtained by resolving the singularity of the orbifold ${\bf C}^2/{\bf Z}_N…
Generating All Wigner Functions
Thomas Curtright, Tsuneo Uematsu, Cosmas Zachos
In the context of phase-space quantization, matrix elements and observables result from integration of c-number functions over phase space, with Wigner functions serving as the qua…
D-branes on a Noncompact Singular Calabi-Yau Manifold
Katsuyuki Sugiyama, Satoshi Yamaguchi
We investigate D-branes on a noncompact singular Calabi-Yau manifold by using the boundary CFT description, and calculate the open string Witten indices between the boundary states…
BRST Invariance of the Non-Perturbative Vacuum in Bosonic Open String Field Theory
Hiroyuki Hata, Shun'ichi Shinohara
Tachyon condensation on a bosonic D-brane was recently demonstrated numerically in Witten's open string field theory with level truncation approximation. This non-perturbative vacu…
Symmetry Origin of Nonlinear Monopole
Koji Hashimoto, Takayuki Hirayama, Sanefumi Moriyama
We revisit the non-linear BPS equation: the Dirac monopole of the Born-Infeld theory in the B-field background. The rotation used in our previous papers to discuss the scalar field…
Quantum Fluctuations of Bulk Inflaton in Inflationary Brane World
Shinpei Kobayashi, Kazuya Koyama, Jiro Soda
The inflationary scenario for the brane world driven by the bulk inflaton is proposed. The quantum fluctuations of the inflaton is calculated and compared to those of the conventio…
Free Field Appoach to String Theory on AdS_3
Kazuo Hosomichi, Kazumi Okuyama, Yuji Satoh
We discuss the correlation functions of the SL(2,C)/SU(2) WZW model, or the CFT on the Euclidean AdS_3. We argue that their calculation is reduced to that of a free theory by takin…
Orientifold Planes, Type I Wilson Lines and Non-BPS D-branes
Yoshifumi Hyakutake, Yosuke Imamura, Shigeki Sugimoto
There is a longstanding puzzle concerned with the existence of Op~-planes with p>=6, which are orientifold p-planes of negative charge with stuck Dp-branes. We study the consistenc…
Self-Tuning Dark Energy in Brane World Cosmology
K. Uzawa, J. Soda
Recently, the self-tuning mechanism of cancellation of vacuum energy has been proposed in which our universe is a flat 3-brane in a 5-dimensional spacetime. In this letter, the sel…
Nondegenerate Super-Anti-de Sitter Algebra and a Superstring Action
Machiko Hatsuda, Kiyoshi Kamimura, Makoto Sakaguchi
We construct an Anti-de Sitter(AdS) algebra in a nondegenerate superspace. Based on this algebra we construct a covariant kappa-symmetric superstring action, and we examine its dyn…
The M2-brane Soliton on the M5-brane with Constant 3-Form
Yoji Michishita
We obtain a BPS soliton of the effective theory of the M5-brane worldvolume with constant 3-form representing M2-branes ending on the M5-brane. The dimensional reduction of this so…
Gravitational Stability and Screening Effect from D Extra Timelike Dimensions
Satoshi Matsuda, Shigenori Seki
We study (3+1)+D dimensional spacetime, where D extra dimensions are timelike. Compactification of the D timelike dimensions leads to tachyonic Kaluza-Klein gravitons. We calculate…
Comment on Ambiguities in the Holographic Weyl Anomaly
M. Fukuma, T. Sakai
We consider possible ambiguities in the holographic Weyl anomaly that are caused by local terms in the flow equation. We point out that such ambiguities actually do not give physic…
Gepner-like Description of a String Theory on a Noncompact Singular Calabi-Yau Manifold
Satoshi Yamaguchi
We investigate a Gepner-like superstring model described by a combination of multiple minimal models and an N=2 Liouville theory. This model is thought to be equivalent to the supe…
