Born-Infeld Dynamics in Uniform Electric Field

Abstract

We investigate various properties of classical configurations of the Born-Infeld theory in a uniform electric field. This system is involved with dynamics of (F,Dp) bound states, which are bound states of fundamental strings and Dp-branes. The uniform electric field can be treated as a constraint on the asymptotic behavior of the fields on the brane. BPS configurations in this theory correspond to fundamental strings attached to the (F,Dp) bound state, and are found to be stable due to force balance. Fluctuations around these stable configurations are subject to appropriate Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions which are identical with the ones deduced from the ordinary worldsheet description of the attached string. Additionally, non-BPS solutions are studied and related physics are discussed.
