Strong Coupling Limit of Open String: Born-Infeld Analysis

Abstract

We consider a large coupling limit of a Born-Infeld action in a curved background of an arbitrary metric and a constant two form field. Following hep-th/0009061, we go to the Hamiltonian description. The Hamiltonian can be dualized and the dual action admits a string-like configuration as its solution. We interpret it as a closed string configuration. The procedure can be viewed as a novel way of bringing out the appropriate degrees of freedom, a closed string, for a open string under the strong coupling limit. We argue that this interpretation implies a large number of dual pairs of gauge and gravity theories whose particular examples are AdS/CFT and matrix theory conjectures.
