Condensation of Tubular D2-branes in Magnetic Field Background

Abstract

It is known that in the Minkowski vacuum a bunch of IIA superstrings with D0-branes can be blown-up to a supersymmetric tubular D2-brane, which is supported against collapse by the angular momentum generated by crossed electric and magnetic Born-Infeld (BI) fields. In this paper we show how the multiple, smaller tubes with relative angular momentum could condense to a single, larger tube to stabilize the system. Such a phenomena could also be shown in the systems under the Melvin magnetic tube or uniform magnetic field background. However, depending on the magnitude of field strength, a tube in the uniform magnetic field background may split into multiple, smaller tubes with relative angular momentum to stabilize the system.
