Open String Gravity?
Yeuk-Kwan E. Cheung, Mark Laidlaw, Konstantin Savvidy
We present a new application of Boundary String Field Theory: calculating the induced-gravity action on a D-brane. Using a simple quadratic tachyon potential to model a D-brane flu…
Strings in Gravimagnetic Fields
Yeuk-Kwan E. Cheung, Laurent Freidel, Konstantin Savvidy
We provide a complete solution of closed strings propagating in Nappi-Witten space. Based on the analysis of geodesics we construct the coherent wavefunctions which approximate as…
The Discrete Bound State Spectrum of the Rotating D0-brane System
Konstantin G. Savvidy
In this note we obtain the discrete spectrum of the rotating ellipsoidal membrane, the solution to classical equations of motion in the matrix mechanics of N D0-branes. This soluti…
Brane Death via Born-Infeld String
Konstantin G. Savvidy
I revisit the solution of Born-Infeld theory which corresponds to a 3-brane and anti-brane joined by a (fundamental) string. The global instability of this configuration makes poss…
