Tachyons, Supertubes and Brane/Anti-Brane Systems
David Mateos, Selena Ng, Paul K. Townsend
We find supertubes with arbitrary (and not necessarily planar) cross section; the stability against the D2-brane tension is due to a compensation by the local momentum generated by…

Supergravity Supertubes
Roberto Emparan, David Mateos, Paul Townsend
We find the supergravity solution sourced by a supertube: a (1/4)-supersymmetric D0-charged IIA superstring that has been blown up to a cylindrical D2-brane by angular momentum. Th…

Supertubes
D. Mateos, P. K. Townsend
It is shown that a IIA superstring carrying D0-brane charge can be `blown-up', in a {\it Minkowski vacuum} background, to a (1/4)-supersymmetric tubular D2-brane, supported against…
