The possibility of using the quantum mechanics of D0-branes for the bound-states of quarks and QCD strings is investigated. Issues such as the inter D0-branes potential, the whiteness of the D0-branes bound-states and the large-N limit of…
The potential between two D0-branes at rest is calculated to be a linear. Also the potential between two fast decaying D0-branes is found in agreement with phenomenological heavy-quark potentials.
We consider in more detail the role of D0-branes as instantons in the construction of SU(N) Super Yang-Mills and Super QCD theories in four space-time dimensions with D4, D6 and NS-branes. In particular, we show how the D0-branes describe…
We obtain the precise condition on the potentials of Yang-Mills theories in 0+1 dimensions and D0 brane quantum mechanics ensuring the discretness of the spectrum. It is given in terms of a moment of inertia of the membrane. From it we…
We study quark confinement in a system of two parallel domain walls interpolating different color dielectric media. We use the phenomenological approach in which the confinement of quarks appears considering the QCD vacuum as a color…
I discuss my recent attempt in search of a new framework for quantum field theory of D branes. After explaining some motivations in the background of this project, I present, as a first step towards our goal, a second-quantized…
We investigate a bunch of D0-branes to reveal its quantum nature from the gravity side. In the classical limit, it is well described by a non-extremal black 0-brane in type IIA supergravity. The solution is uplifted to the eleven dimensions…
We study the generalized conformal quantum mechanics of the probe D0-brane in the near horizon background of the bound state of source D0-branes. We elaborate on the relationship of such model to the M theory in the light cone frame.
In this note we obtain the discrete spectrum of the rotating ellipsoidal membrane, the solution to classical equations of motion in the matrix mechanics of N D0-branes. This solution has the interpretation of a closed D2-brane with the…
We study the stability of a special form of D brane embedding which is regarded as a bound state of D$_n$ and anti-D$_n$-brane embedded in a 10D supergravity background which is dual to a confining gauge theory. For D5 branes with $U(1)$…
Light-front quantum chromodynamics may lead to an accurate constituent approximation for the low-energy properties of hadrons. This requires a cutoff that violates explicit gauge invariance and Lorentz covariance, leading to the calculation…
We consider the matrix quantum mechanics of N D0-branes in the background of the 1-form RR field. It is observed that the transformations of matrix coordinates of D0-branes induce on the Abelian RR field symmetry transformations that are…
The study of light hadrons is central to the understanding of confinement--a unique property of QCD. The quark model describs mesons as bound states of quarks and antiquarks. LQCD and QCD-motivated models for hadrons, however, predict a…
We study analytically and numerically the interaction potentials between a pair of quark an anti-quark on D3, M2 and M5 branes. These potentials are obtained using Maldacena's method involving Wilson loops and present confining and…
I discuss D0-brane quantum mechanics as a nonperturbative formulation of string theory, in particular the relation between the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind matrix model, the Maldacena conjecture for D0-branes, and type IIA/M-theory…
We consider low energy, non-relativistic scattering of two Dirichlet zero-branes as an exercise in quantum mechanics. For weak string coupling and sufficiently small velocity, the dynamics is governed by an effective U(2) gauge theory in…
The Hamiltonian describing Matrix theory on T^n is identified with the Hamiltonian describing the dynamics of D0-branes on T^n in an appropriate weak coupling limit for all n up to 5. New subtleties arise in taking this weak coupling limit…
An action for supersymmetric D0-branes in curved backgrounds is obtained by dimensional reduction of N=1 ten-dimensional supergravity coupled to super Yang-Mills system to 0+1 dimensions. The resultant action exhibits the coset-space…
A confining quantum chromodynamics (QCD) model is formulated on the basis of a new general Yang-Mills $SU_3$ symmetry. The general Yang-Mills transformations involve arbitrary vector gauge functions $\omega_\mu(x)$ and Hamilton's…
We survey contemporary studies of hadrons and strongly interacting quarks using QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations, addressing: aspects of confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking; the hadron spectrum; hadron elastic and transition…
