In this paper, we investigate the localization of the Kalb-Ramond field on symmetric and asymmetric thick branes, which are generated by a background scalar field. In order to localize the Kalb-Ramond field, we introduce a coupling with the…
In string theory, nilpotence of the BRS operator $\d$ for the string functional relates the Chern-Simons term in the gauge-invariant antisymmetric tensor field strength to the central term in the Kac-Moody algebra. We generalize these ideas…
In this paper free quantum theories are derived solely from their underlying symmetry group without reference to a Lagrangean or classical physics and then interactions are introduced by making use of automorphism of the symmetry algebra.…
A chain-like or a 1D crystal-like universe made of intersecting membranes in extra dimensions in a Randall-Sundrum scenario is studied. A background gravitational metric satisfying the right boundary conditions is considered to study the…
We make an analysis about several aspects of localization of the Kalb-Ramond gauge field in a specific four dimensional AdS membrane embedded in a five dimensional space-time. The membrane is generated from a deformation of the $\lambda…
We study a model of interacting vector and Kalb-Ramond gauge fields in a non-trivial Higgs vacuum generated by a charged and a neutral scalar field. The system admits different vacua for different v.e.v. of the two Higgs fields. Our primary…
In this paper we derive a class of contributions to all orders in $\alpha'$ to the effective action of D-brane-anti D-brane systems in Type II String Theory, considering an amplitude involving a closed-string Ramond-Ramond state and four…
We use the conservation law of the stress-energy and spin tensors to study the motion of massive brane-like objects in Riemann-Cartan geometry. The world-sheet equations and boundary conditions are obtained in a manifestly covariant form.…
The Kalb-Ramond (KR) antisymmetric tensor field arises naturally in the gravitational multiplet of string theory. Nevertheless, the respective low-energy field theory action, in which, for reasons of gauge invariance, the only dependence on…
We review recent progress in a fully dynamical Lagrangian description of the supergravity-superbrane interaction. It suggests that the interacting superfield action, when it exists, is gauge equivalent to the component action of dynamical…
Rotation angle of the plane of polarization of the distant galactic radio waves has been estimated in a string inspired axion-dilaton background. It is found that the axion,dual to the field strength of the second rank antisymmetric…
We study noncommutativity in open strings using the covariant phase space formalism. For tensile open strings in a constant Kalb-Ramond background, we show that the (pre)-symplectic current splits into a bulk kinetic term plus an exact…
The Kalb-Ramond monopole, as discussed by Nepomechie, is identical with the (singular) Dirac monopole in d=3 dimensions. The latter can be described by the (regular) 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole, via the 't Hooft tensor construction. This…
The mechanism of dynamical mass generation for the gauge field is studied through 1-loop. We find out that torsion is an obstruction to the appearance of a 1-loop mass correction. Contrary, if torsion is not present, a mass gap is generated…
We consider an action for a closed, bosonic, p-brane, where the brane tension is not an assigned parameter but rather it is induced by a maximal rank gauge p-form. This model is classically equivalent to the Nambu--Goto/Howe-Tucker model.…
We show that the rank reduction of the gauge group on orientifolds in presence of non vanishing discrete Kalb-Ramond field can be explained by the presence of an induced field strength in a non trivial bundle on the branes. This field…
We shall construct the Dirac-Born-Infeld like and the Wess-Zumino like actions for a dynamical D$p$-brane with the $U(1)$ gauge potential and the Kalb-Ramond background field. The brane dynamics simultaneously has both tangential and…
Using the kappa-symmetric action for a D3-brane, we study the interaction between its world-volume fermions and a bosonic type IIB supergravity background preserving 4-dimensional Lorentz invariance. We find that the renormalizable terms in…
A string-inspired 3-form-dilaton-gravity model is studied in a Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario. As expected, the rank-3 antisymmetric field is exponentially suppressed. For each mass level, the mass spectrum is bigger than the one for…
We draw a parallel between the BV/BRST formalism for higher-dimensional ($\ge 2$) Hamiltonian mechanics and higher notions of torsion and basic curvature tensors for generalized connections in specific Lie $n$-algebroids based on homotopy…
