Kinks in Time and their Relation to Confinement
John E. Wang
The time dependent formation of an electric flux tube (fundamental string) is reviewed. The main tool used for analysis is the Spacelike brane, which is a kink in time of the rolli…
Hyperbolic Space Cosmologies
Chiang-Mei Chen, Pei-Ming Ho, Ishwaree P. Neupane +2
We present a systematic study of accelerating cosmologies obtained from M/string theory compactifications of hyperbolic spaces with time-varying volume. A set of vacuum solutions w…
A Note on Acceleration from Product Space Compactification
Chiang-Mei Chen, Pei-Ming Ho, Ishwaree P. Neupane +1
We study compactifications of Einstein gravity on product spaces in vacuum and their acceleration phases. Scalar potentials for the dimensionally reduced effective theory are found…
Time Evolution via S-branes
Koji Hashimoto, Pei-Ming Ho, Satoshi Nagaoka +1
Using S(pacelike)-branes defined through rolling tachyon solutions, we show how the dynamical formation of D(irichlet)-branes and strings in tachyon condensation can be understood.…
