D-brane dynamics

Abstract

I calculate the semiclassical phase shift ($\delta$), as function of impact parameter ($b$) and velocity ($v$), when one D-brane moves past another. From its low-velocity expansion I show that, for torroidal compactifications, the moduli space of two identical D-branes stays flat to all orders in ${\alpha }^{\prime }$. For K3 compactifications, the calculation of the D-brane moduli-space metric can be mapped to a dual gauge-coupling renormalization problem. In the ultrarelativistic regime, the absorptive part of the phase shift grows as if the D-branes were black disks of area $\sim {\alpha }^{\prime }ln\frac{1}{1-v^2}$. The scattering of large fundamental strings shares all the above qualitative features. A side remark concerns the intriguing duality between limiting electric fields and the speed of light.
