D-term cosmic strings from N=2 Supergravity
Ana Achucarro, Alessio Celi, Mboyo Esole +2
We describe new half-BPS cosmic string solutions in N=2, d=4 supergravity coupled to one vector multiplet and one hypermultiplet. They are closely related to D-term strings in N=1…
Comparing two definitions for gauge variations of dielectric D-branes
Joke Adam
We compare two definitions of gauge variations in the case of non-Abelian actions for multiple D-branes. Equivalence is proven for the R-R variations, which shows that the action i…
String splitting and strong coupling meson decay
A. L. Cotrone, L. Martucci, W. Troost
We study the decay of high spin mesons using the gauge/string theory correspondence. The rate of the process is calculated by studying the splitting of a macroscopic string interse…
A new picture for 4-dimensional 'spacetime' from intersecting D-branes on the T^9
Tassilo Ott
A factorization of spacetime of the form M^3xM^3xM^3 is considered in this paper as the closed string background in type IIA. The idea behind this construction is that each M^3 mig…
The spinorial geometry of supersymmetric heterotic string backgrounds
U. Gran, P. Lohrmann, G. Papadopoulos
We determine the geometry of supersymmetric heterotic string backgrounds for which all parallel spinors with respect to the connection with torsion , the NS$\otimes…
On the gauge invariance and coordinate transformations of non-Abelian D-brane actions
Joke Adam, Ignacio A. Illan, Bert Janssen
We study the variations of the worldvolume fields in the non-Abelian action for multiple D-branes. Using T-duality we find that the embedding scalars transform non-trivially under…
Non Relativistic Dp Branes
Joaquim Gomis, Filippo Passerini, Toni Ramirez +1
We construct a kappa-symmetric and diffeomorphism-invariant non-relativistic Dp-brane action as a non-relativistic limit of a relativistic Dp-brane action in flat space. In a suita…
Non-Relativistic Superstrings: A New Soluble Sector of AdS_5xS^5
Jaume Gomis, Joaquim Gomis, Kiyoshi Kamimura
We find a new sector of string theory in AdS_5xS^5 describing non-relativistic superstrings in that geometry. The worldsheet theory of non-relativistic strings in AdS_5xS^5 is deri…
Supersymmetric D-branes and calibrations on general N=1 backgrounds
Luca Martucci, Paul Smyth
We study the conditions to have supersymmetric D-branes on general {\cal N}=1 backgrounds with Ramond-Ramond fluxes. These conditions can be written in terms of the two pure spinor…
N=1,2 supersymmetric vacua of IIA supergravity and SU(2) structures
Jo Bovy, Dieter Lust, Dimitrios Tsimpis
We consider backgrounds of (massive) IIA supergravity of the form of a warped product , where is a six-dimensional compact manifold and is $AdS…
Catching the phantom: the MSSM on the Z6-orientifold
Tassilo Ott
These lecture notes give a short introduction of the derivation of the supersymmetric standard model on the Z6-orientifold as published in hep-th/0404055. Untwisted and twisted cyc…
Dirac actions for D-branes on backgrounds with fluxes
Luca Martucci, Jan Rosseel, Dieter Van den Bleeken +1
The understanding of the fermionic sector of the worldvolume D-brane dynamics on a general background with fluxes is crucial in several branches of string theory, like for example…
Semiclassical strings on confining backgrounds
Luca Martucci
This paper discusses some results on semiclassical string configurations lying in the IR sector of supergravity backgrounds dual to confining gauge theories. On the gauge theory si…
Stability of Horava-Witten Spacetimes
J. -L. Lehners, P. Smyth, K. S. Stelle
Horava-Witten spacetimes necessarily include two branes of opposite tension. If these branes are BPS we are led to a puzzle: a negative tension brane should be unstable as it can l…
Stable de Sitter vacua in N=2, D=5 supergravity
Bert Cosemans, Geert Smet
We find 5D gauged supergravity theories exhibiting stable de Sitter vacua. These are the first examples of stable de Sitter vacua in higher-dimensional (D>4) supergravity. Non-comp…
