Fractional space-like branes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We discuss construction and applications of instanton-like objects which we call fractional space-like branes. These objects are localised at a fixed point of a time-like (or more generally space-time) orbifold which is a string theoretical toy model of a cosmological singularity. We formulate them in boundary state, adsorption, and fermionisation approaches.
