Forces between stable non-BPS branes
Steven Corley, David A. Lowe
As a step toward constructing realistic brane world models in string theory, we consider the interactions of a pair of non-BPS branes. We construct a dyonic generalization of the n…
Probing black holes in non-perturbative gauge theory
Norihiro Iizuka, Daniel Kabat, Gilad Lifschytz +1
We use a 0-brane to probe a ten-dimensional near-extremal black hole with N units of 0-brane charge. We work directly in the dual strongly-coupled quantum mechanics, using mean-fie…
The Stress-Energy Tensor in Soluble Models of Spherically Symmetric Charged Black Hole Evaporation
Kamran Diba, David A. Lowe
We study the decay of a near-extremal black hole in AdS, related to the near-horizon region of 3+1-dimensional Reissner-Nordström spacetime, following Fabbri, Navarro, and Nava…
Einstein-Hilbert action on the brane for the bulk graviton
Steven Corley, David Lowe, Sanjaye Ramgoolam
We find new closed string couplings on Dp-branes for the bosonic string. These couplings are quadratic in derivatives and therefore take the form of induced kinetic terms on the br…
Stacking non-BPS D-Branes
Gian Luigi Alberghi, Elena Caceres, Kevin Goldstein +1
We present a candidate supergravity solution for a stacked configuration of stable non-BPS D-branes in Type II string theory compactified on T^4/Z_2. This gives a supergravity desc…
Black hole entropy from non-perturbative gauge theory
Daniel Kabat, Gilad Lifschytz, David A. Lowe
We present the details of a mean-field approximation scheme for the quantum mechanics of N D0-branes at finite temperature. The approximation can be applied at strong 't Hooft coup…
