The Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action from string theory provides several new classes of dark energy behavior beyond quintessence due to its relativistic kinematics. We constrain parameters of natural potentials and brane tensions with cosmological observations as well as showing how to design these functions for a desired expansion history. We enlarge the attractor solutions, including new ways of obtaining cosmological constant behavior, to the case of generalized DBI theory with multiple branes. An interesting novel signature of DBI attractors is that the sound speed is driven to zero, unlike for quintessence where it is the speed of light.
We study Born-Infeld type tachyonic effective action of unstable D2-brane with a runaway potential and find rich structure of static regular solitonic solutions. There exists only periodic array of tachyon kink-antikinks in pure tachyonic theory, however, in the presence of electromagnetic fields, solutions include periodic arrays, topological tachyon kinks, half kink, and bounces. Computed tension of each kink or single unit of the periodic array has T 1 = √ 2πT 2 or that with a multiplicative factor depending on electric field. When both electric and magnetic fields are turned on, fundamental string charge density has a confined component in addition to a constant piece. These evidences imply that the obtained codimension-1 objects are likely to be interpreted as D1-brane (and D1F1) or array of D1D1 (and D1F1-D1F1) as was the case without the electromagnetic fields. Generalization to unstable Dpbranes is straightforward.
We carry out the Hamiltonian analysis of non-Abelian gauge theories in (2+1) dimensions in a gauge-invariant matrix parametrization of the fields. A detailed discussion of regularization issues and the construction of the renormalized Laplace operator on the configuration space, which is proportional to the kinetic energy, are given. The origin of the mass gap is analyzed and the lowest eigenstates of the kinetic energy are explicitly obtained; these have zero charge and exhibit a mass gap . The nature of the corrections due to the potential energy, the possibility of an improved perturbation theory and a Schrodinger-like equation for the states are also discussed.Comment: 41 pages, Plain TeX, discussion added, typos correcte
We derive general low energy dynamics of monopoles and dyons in Nϭ2 and Nϭ4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories by utilizing a collective coordinate expansion. The resulting new kind of supersymmetric quantum mechanics incorporates the effects of multiple Higgs fields, both in the Nϭ2 vector multiplet and hypermultiplets, having non-vanishing expectation values.
We construct detailed AdS 2 gravity solutions describing the teleportation through a traversable wormhole sending a state from one side of the wormhole to the other. The traversable wormhole is realized by turning on a double trace interaction that couples the two boundaries of an eternal AdS 2 black hole. The horizon radius or the entropy of the black hole is reduced consistently with the boundary computation of the energy change, confirming the black hole first law. To describe teleportee states traveling through the wormhole, we construct Janus deformations which make the Hamiltonians of left-right boundaries differ from each other by turning on exact marginal operators. Combining explicitly the traversable wormhole solution and the teleportee states, we present a complete bulk picture of the teleportation in the context of ER=EPR. The traversability of the wormhole is not lost to the leading order of the deformation parameter. We also consider solutions where the teleportee meets the matter thrown from the other side during teleportation, in accordance with the assertion that the bulk wormhole is experimentally observable.
In the context of tachyon effective theory coupled to Born-Infeld electromagnetic fields, we obtain all possible singularity-free static flat configurations of codimension one on unstable Dp-branes. Computed tension and string charge density suggest that the obtained kinks are D(p − 1) or D(p − 1)F1-branes.
We study Born-Infeld type effective action for unstable D3-brane system including a tachyon and an Abelian gauge field, and find the rolling tachyon with constant electric and magnetic fields as the most general homogeneous solution. Tachyonic vacua are characterized by magnitudes of the electric and magnetic fields and the angle between them. Analysis of small fluctuations in this background shows that the obtained configuration may be interpreted as a fluid consisting of string-like objects carrying electric and magnetic fields. They are stretched along one direction and the rolling tachyon move in a perpendicular direction to the strings. Direction of the propagating waves coincides with that of strings with velocity equal to electric field.
We study the ultraviolet asymptotics in non-simply laced affine Toda theories considering them as perturbed non-affine Toda theories, which possess the extended conformal symmetry. We calculate the reflection amplitudes, in non-affine Toda theories and use them to derive the quantization condition for the vacuum wave function, describing zero-mode dynamics. The solution of this quantization conditions for the ground state energy determines the UV asymptotics of the effective central charge. These asymptotics are in a good agreement with Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz(TBA) results. To make the comparison with TBA possible, we give the exact relations between parameters of the action and masses of particles as well as the bulk free energies for non-simply laced affine Toda theories.
