D-branes in field theory
Dec, 2005Citations per year
Abstract:
Certain gauge theories in four dimensions are known to admit semi-classical D-brane solitons. These are domain walls on which vortex flux tubes may end. The purpose of this paper is to develop an open-string description of these D-branes. The dynamics of the domain walls is shown to be governed by a Chern-Simons-Higgs theory which, at the quantum level, captures the classical closed string scattering of domain wall solitons.- supersymmetric gauge field theory
