Brane mapping under $(-1)^{F_L}$

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We present the evidence that (1)FL(-1)^{F_L} is a nonperturbative symmetry of Type II string theory. We argue that (1)FL(-1)^{F_L} is a symmetry of string theory as much as the SL(2,Z)SL(2, Z) of the Type II string is and how the branes are mapped under the (1)FL(-1)^{F_L} modding. NS branes are mapped into the NS branes with the same world volume dimensions but with the different chiral structure. Supersymmetric Dp-branes (bound with anti-Dp branes) are mapped to unstable nonsupersymmetric Dp-branes, which has D(p-1)-branes as kink solutions according to Horava.
