Real and Imaginary Mass Generation in the Presence of External Fields and Axions
Stefano Ansoldi, Eduardo I. Guendelman, Euro Spallucci
Small fluctuations around a constant electric or constant magnetic field F are analyzed in a theory with pseudo scalar [phi] with a coupling g[phi]F~F. It is found that a magnetic…
Nambu-Goto Strings from SU(N) Born-Infeld model
S. Ansoldi, C. Castro, E. I. Guendelman +1
The spectrum of quenched Yang-Mills theory in the large-N limit displays strings and higher dimensional extended objects. The effective dynamics of string-like excitations is encod…
Quenched, Minisuperspace, Bosonic p-brane Propagator
S. Ansoldi, A. Aurilia, C. Castro +1
We borrow the minisuperspace approximation from Quantum Cosmology and the quenching approximation from QCD in order to derive a new form of the bosonic p-brane propagator. In this…
p-Branes from Generalized Yang-Mills Theory
S. Ansoldi, C. Castro, E. Spallucci
We consider the reduced, quenched version of a generalized Yang-Mills action in 4k-dimensional spacetime. This is a new kind of matrix theory which is mapped through the Weyl-Wigne…
Membrane Pregeometry and the Vanishing of the Cosmological Constant
A. Aurilia, A. Smailagic, E. Spallucci
We suggest a model of induced gravity in which the fundamental object is a relativistic {\it membrane} minimally coupled to a background metric and to an external three index gauge…
Axionic Membranes
A. Aurilia, E. Spallucci
A metal ring removed from a soap-water solution encloses a film of soap which can be mathematically described as a minimal surface having the ring as its only boundary. This is kno…
