Wormholes on the world volume: Born-Infeld particles and Dirichlet p-branes
Jan, 1998Citations per year
Abstract:
I describe some recent work in which classical solutions of Dirac-Born-Infeld theory may be used to throw light on some properties of M-theory. The sources of Born-Infeld theory are the ends of strings ending on the world volume. Equivalently the fundamental string may be regarded as merely a thin and extended piece of the world volume.- talk: Santiago 1997/08/18
