We study ensembles of 1/2-BPS bound states of fundamental strings and NS-fivebranes (NS5-F1 states) in the AdS decoupling limit. We revisit a solution corresponding to an ensemble average of these bound states, and find that the appropriate…
In the process of identifying heterotic and Type $II$ BPS string states with extremal dilaton black holes, it has been suggested that solutions with scalar/Maxwell parameters $a=\sqrt{3}$, $1$, $1/\sqrt{3}$ and $0$ correspond to $1-$, $2-$,…
We find and study supergravity BPS bound states of five-dimensional spinning black holes in asymptotically flat spacetime. These solutions follow from multi-string solutions in six-dimensional minimal supergravity and can be uplifted to…
We study systems containing electrons and nuclei. Based on the fact that the thermodynamic limit exists for systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions, we prove that the same limit is obtained if one imposes other boundary conditions such…
The phase structure of ideal Bose gas system within different boundary conditions, i.e., the periodic boundary condition and Dirichlet boundary condition in this work, in an infinite volume, is investigated. It is found that the ground…
A novel Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) bound for the Gross-Pitaevskii equations in two spatial dimensions is presented. The energy can be bounded from below in terms of the combination of two boundary terms, one related to the…
A geometrical form of the supersymmetry conditions for D-branes on arbitrary type II supersymmetric backgrounds is derived, as well as the associated BPS bounds. The treatment is general and allows to consider, for instance, non-static…
We focus on black branes and toroidal black holes in N=2 gauged supergravities that asymptote to AdS_4, and derive formulas for the mass and central charge densities. We derive the corresponding BPS bound from the superalgebra of the…
$D$-brane boundary states for type II superstrings are constructed by enforcing the conditions that preserve half of the space-time supersymmetry. A light-cone coordinate frame is used where time is identified as one of the coordinates…
The D0-D6 system, which is not supersymmetric in the absence of a Neveu-Schwarz B-field, becomes supersymmetric if a suitable constant B-field is turned on. On one side of the supersymmetric locus, this system has a BPS bound state, and on…
The supersymmetry algebra for supermembranes, quantized in the light-cone gauge, exhibits central charges induced by wrapping the membrane around compact dimensions. These central charges are manifestly consistent with Lorentz symmetry.…
We explore the stringy structure of 1/2-BPS bound states of NS fivebranes carrying momentum or fundamental string charge, in the decoupling limits leading to little string theory and to AdS3/CFT2 duality. We develop an exact worldsheet…
In this article, applying different types of boundary conditions; Dirichlet, Neumann, or Mixed, on open strings we realize various new brane bound states in string theory. Calculating their interactions with other D-branes, we find their…
Considering SO(32) heterotic string theory compactified on a torus of dimension 4 and less, stability of non-supersymmetric states is studied. A non-supersymmetric state with robust stability is constructed, and its exact stability is…
Based on the recently proposed action for Matrix theory describing the DLCQ M theory in the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave background, we obtain the supersymmetry algebra of supercharge density. Using supersymmetry transformation rules…
We perform the symmetry analysis of the properties of the ground state of a finite system of interacting spinless bosons for the three most symmetric boundary conditions (BCs): zero BCs with spherical and circular symmetries, as well as…
Polchinski's recent construction of Dirichlet-branes of R-R charges, together with Witten's mechanism for forming bound states of both NS-NS charges and R-R charges, provides a rigorous method to treat these dy-branes. We construct the…
Dirichlet-branes have emerged as important objects in studying nonperturbative string theory. It is important to generalize these objects to more general backgrounds other than the usual flat background. The simplest case is the linear…
String amplitudes with an arbitrary number of world-sheet boundaries on which the coordinates satisfy Dirichlet boundary conditions are analyzed in a path integral framework. Special attention is payed to the novel divergences associated…
We study bound states of D-p-branes and D-(p+2)-branes. By switching on a large magnetic field F on the (p+2) brane, the problem is shown to admit a perturbative analysis in an expansion in inverse powers of F. It is found that, to the…
