String bits and the Myers effect
Pedro J. Silva
Based on the non-abelian effective action for D1-branes, a new action for matrix string theory in non-trivial backgrounds is proposed. Once the background fields are included, new…
Obstruction to D-brane topology change
Garnik G. Alexanian, A. P. Balachandran, Pedro J. Silva
A study of the relation between topology change, energy and Lie algebra representations for fuzzy geometry in connection to -theory is presented. We encounter two different type…
Stabilization of Hyperbolic Brane-World Scenarios
Pedro J. Silva
In this talk we consider the issue of stabilization of compact hyperbolic brane-world scenarios from the point of view of 4-dimensional effective theories. The idea is to clarify t…
Radion Stabilization in Compact Hyperbolic Extra Dimensions
Salah Nasri, Pedro J. Silva, Glenn D. Starkman +1
We consider radion stabilization in hyperbolic brane-world scenarios. We demonstrate that in the context of Einstein gravity, matter fields which stabilize the extra dimensions mus…
