“…In particular we show here that the β-method of Gepner [4] for constructing modular invariants can be adapted to the non-compact case. We then start the discussion of the localized spectrum [22,12,24], which is characteristic of non-compact models.…”

We study non-compact Gepner models that preserve sixteen or eight supercharges in type II string theories. In particular, we develop an orbifolded Landau-Ginzburg description of these models analogous to the Landau-Ginzburg formulation of compact Gepner models. The Landau-Ginzburg description provides an easy and direct access to the geometry of the singularity associated to the non-compact Gepner models. Using these tools, we are able to give an intuitive account of the chiral rings of the models, and of the massless moduli in particular. By studying orbifolds of the singular linear dilaton models, we describe mirror pairs of non-compact Gepner models by suitably adapting the Greene-Plesser construction of mirror pairs for the compact case. For particular models, we take a large level, low curvature limit in which we can analyze corrections to a flat space orbifold approximation of the non-compact Gepner models. This gives rise to a counting of moduli which differs from the toric counting in a subtle way.

“…This solution can be also be thought as conformal to a cone over the Einstein space SU (3) /U (1). Using the same methods as for the NS5-branes in [IKPT04], we can show that the full solution corresponding to the model (4.158) can be obtained directly as the null super-coset:…”

In this chapter we present some of the applications for the construction outlined above. After an analysis of the most simple (compact and noncompact) examples, we describe the near-horizon geometry for the Bertotti-Robinson black hole, show some new compactifications and see how Horne and Horowitz's black string can be described in this framework and generalized via the introduction of an electric field.

“…Calling R its radius in string units, one can define a double scaling limit of the system [6] (g s → 0, R/g s fixed) in order to reach the near-horizon geometry of all fivebranes simultaneously. Remarkably the ring geometry is an exactly solvable worldsheet cft [7,8]. Its transverse part is T-dual to…”

In a recent work [1], Sen studied unstable D-branes in NS5-brane backgrounds and argued that in the strong curvature regime the universal open string tachyon (on Dbranes of the wrong dimensionality) and the geometric tachyon (on D-branes that are bps in flat space but not in this background) may become equivalent. We study in this note an example of a non-bps suspended D-brane vs. a bps D-brane at equal distance between two fivebranes. We use boundary worldsheet cft methods to show that these two unstable branes are identical.
