On the Critical Behavior of D1-brane Theories
Eva Silverstein, Yun S. Song
We study renormalization-group flow patterns in theories arising on D1-branes in various supersymmetry-breaking backgrounds. We argue that the theory of N D1-branes transverse to a…

Tension is Dimension
J. A. Harvey, S. Kachru, G. Moore +1
We propose a simple universal formula for the tension of a D-brane in terms of a regularized dimension of the associated conformal field theory statespace.

Orientifolds, RG Flows, and Closed String Tachyons
Shamit Kachru, Jason Kumar, Eva Silverstein
We discuss the fate of certain tachyonic closed string theories from two perspectives. In both cases our approach involves studying directly configurations with finite negative tre…
