Brane World Sum Rules
Gary Gibbons, Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde
A set of consistency conditions is derived from Einstein equations for brane world scenarios with a spatially periodic internal space. In particular, the sum of the total tension o…
Convex Functions and Spacetime Geometry
Gary W. Gibbons, Akihiro Ishibashi
Convexity and convex functions play an important role in theoretical physics. To initiate a study of the possible uses of convex functions in General Relativity, we discuss the con…
String Fluid from Unstable D-branes
Gary Gibbons, Kentaro Hori, Piljin Yi
We consider Sen's effective action for unstable D-branes, and study its classical dynamics exactly. In the true vacuum, the Hamiltonian dynamics remains well-defined despite a vani…
Non-Linear Electrodynamics in Curved Backgrounds
Gary W. Gibbons, Koji Hashimoto
We study non-linear electrodynamics in curved space from the viewpoint of dualities. After establishing the existence of a topological bound for self-dual configurations of Born-In…
Intersecting domain walls in MQCD
Jerome P. Gauntlett, Gary W. Gibbons, Paul K. Townsend
We argue that MQCD admits intersecting domain walls that are realized as Cayley calibrations of the MQCD M5-brane. We discuss various dual realizations and comment on how branes ca…
Embedding Branes in Flat Two-time Spaces
L. Andrianopoli, M. Derix, G. W. Gibbons +3
We show how non-near horizon, non-dilatonic -brane theories can be obtained from two embedding constraints in a flat higher dimensional space with 2 time directions. In particul…
