Flux Stabilization of D-branes in NSNS Melvin Background

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v3

Abstract

In this paper we reexamine the D-brane spectrum in the Melvin background with nonconstant NSNS B-field from the viewpoint of its world-volume and string world-sheet theory. We find that the stable D2-D0 bound state exists even though it does not wrap any nontrivial cycles. We show that this system is stabilized by the presence of the NSNS B-field and the magnetic flux F. Moreover from the non-abelian world-volume theory of D0-branes the bound state is regarded as a system of D0-branes expanding into a fuzzy torus.
