Stability of D1-Strings Inside a D3-Brane

Abstract

Within the tachyon condensation approach, we find that a D(p-2)-brane is stable inside Dp-branes when the bulk is compactified. It is a codimension-2 soliton of the Dp-brane action with coupling to the bulk (p-1)-form RR field. We discuss the properties of such solitons. They may appear as detectable cosmic strings in our universe.
