Born-Infeld String as a Boundary Conformal Field Theory
Larus Thorlacius
Solutions of Born-Infeld theory, representing strings extending from a Dirichlet p-brane, are also solutions of the higher derivative generalization of the Born-Infeld equations de…
Brane-Waves and Strings
Sangmin Lee, Amanda Peet, Larus Thorlacius
Recently, solutions of the Born-Infeld theory representing strings emanating from a Dirichlet p-brane have been constructed. We discuss the embedding of these Born-Infeld solutions…
Introduction to D-branes
Larus Thorlacius
D-branes are string theory solitons defined by boundary conditions on open strings that end on them. They play an important role in the non-perturbative dynamics of string theory a…
Strings and D-Branes at High Temperature
Sangmin Lee, Larus Thorlacius
The thermodynamics of a gas of strings and D-branes near the Hagedorn transition is described by a coupled set of Boltzmann equations for weakly interacting open and closed long st…
