Fate of the Born-Infeld solution in string theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-09-06 v5

Abstract

We argue that the Born-Infeld solution on the D99-brane is unstable under inclusion of derivative corrections to Born-Infeld theory coming from string theory. More specifically, we find no electrostatic solutions to the first order corrected Born-Infeld theory on the D99-brane which give a finite value for the Lagrangian.
