Abstract The boundary state corresponding to the Dp-brane with a transverse rotation in the presence of the Kalb–Ramond and tachyon background fields and a U(1) internal field will be constructed. We shall investigate effects of the open string tachyon condensation on this brane via its boundary state. We demonstrate that the background fields and transverse rotation cannot protect the brane against the collapse. Our calculations are in the context of the bosonic string theory.

We investigate the general solution with the symmetry ISO (1, p) × SO (9-p) of Type II supergravity (the three-parameter solution) from the viewpoint of the superstring theory. We find that one of the three parameters (c1) is closely related to the "dilaton charge" and the appearance of the dilaton charge is a consequence of deformations of the boundary condition from that of the boundary state for BPS D-branes. We give three examples of the deformed D-branes by considering the tachyon condensation from systems of [Formula: see text]-branes, unstable D9-branes and unstable D-instantons to the BPS saturated D p-branes, respectively. We argue that the deformed systems are generally regarded as tachyonic and/or massive excitations of the open strings on [Formula: see text]-brane systems.

Abstract Intersecting D-brane models and their T-dual magnetic compactifications provide an attractive framework for particle physics, allowing for chiral fermions and supersymmetry breaking. Generically, magnetic compactifications have tachyons that are usually removed by Wilson lines. However, quantum corrections prevent local minima for Wilson lines. We therefore study tachyon condensation in the simplest case, the magnetic compactification of type I string theory on a torus to eight dimensions. We find that tachyon condensation restores supersymmetry, which is broken by the magnetic flux, and we compute the Kaluza-Klein mass spectrum. The gauge group SO(32) is broken to USp(16). We give arguments that the vacuum reached by tachyon condensation corresponds to the unique 8d superstring theory already known in the literature, with discrete Bab background or, in the T-dual version, the type IIB orientifold with three O7−-planes, one O7+-plane and eight D7-branes coincident with the O7+-plane. The ground state after tachyon condensation is supersymmetric and has no chiral fermions.

We show that the action of self-dual supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions, which describes the consistent massless background fields for N=2 superstring, generates the actions for N=1 and N=2 supersymmetric non-Abelian Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions after some dimensional reductions. Since the latters play important roles for supersymmetric integrable models, this result indicates the fundamental significance of the N=2 superstring theory controlling (possibly all) supersymmetric integrable models in lower dimensions.

Abstract In this article we present bosonic T-dualization in double space of the type II superstring theory in the pure spinor formulation. We use the action with constant background fields obtained from the general case under some physically and mathematically justified assumptions. Unlike Nikolić and Sazdović (EPJ C 77:197, 2017), where we used the first-order theory, in this article fermionic momenta are integrated out. Full T-dualization in double space is represented as a permutation of the initial $$x^\mu $$xμ and T-dual coordinates $$y_\mu $$yμ. Requiring that a T-dual transformation law of the T-dual double coordinate $${}^\star Z^M=(y_\mu ,x^\mu )$$⋆ZM=(yμ,xμ) to be of the same form as for initial one $$Z^M=(x^\mu ,y_\mu )$$ZM=(xμ,yμ), we obtain the form of the T-dual background fields in terms of the initial ones. The advantage of using the action with integrated fermionic momenta is that it gives all T-dual background fields in terms of the initial ones. In the case of the first-order theory Nikolić and Sazdović (2017) a T-dual R-R field strength was obtained out of the double space formalism under additional assumptions.

We compute the boundary state corresponding to a fractional Dp-brane with transverse motion and internal background fields: Kalb–Ramond and a U(1) gauge field. The space–time has the orbifold structure [Formula: see text]. The calculations are in the superstring theory. Using this boundary state we shall obtain the interaction amplitude between two parallel moving fractional Dp-branes. We shall extract behavior of the interaction amplitude for large distances of the branes.
