BPS Nature of 3-String Junctions
arXiv:hep-th/9711094 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(98)00140-3
Abstract
We study BPS-saturated classical solutions for the world-sheet theory of a D-string in the presence of a point charge. These solutions are interpreted as describing planar 3-string junctions, which arise because the original D-string is deformed by the presence of the inserted charge. We compute the angles of the junctions and show that the vector sum of string tensions is zero, confirming a conjecture of Schwarz that such configurations are BPS states.
