Noncommutative open string, D-brane and duality

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider open strings ending on D-branes in the presence of constant metric, G, antisymmetric tensor, B and gauge field, A. The Hamiltonian is manifestly invariant under a global noncompact group; strikingly similar to toroidally compactified closed string Hamiltonian. The evolution equations for the string coordinates, Xi and their dual partners, Yi, are combined to obtain equations of motion invariant under the noncompact symmetry transformations. We show that one can start from a noncommutative theory, with nonvanishing G and B and mixed boundary conditions and then go over to a dual theory whose coordinates obey Dirichlet boundary conditions. It is possible to generate B-field by implementing the noncompact symmetry transformation. The connection between this duality transformation and Seiberg-Witten map is discussed.
