Gauge Symmetry Breaking in a Throat Geometry

TL;DR

This paper investigates how D3-branes behave in a specific throat geometry, revealing that multi-brane systems tend to expand and lose gauge symmetry, with implications for string theory compactifications.

Contribution

It demonstrates the tendency of multi-brane systems to expand and break gauge symmetry in BGMPZ throat geometry, a novel insight into brane dynamics.

Findings

Multi-brane systems expand and form bound states

Non-abelian gauge symmetry is lost in multi-brane configurations

Single branes have stabilized moduli

Abstract

We analyze behaviour of D3-branes in BGMPZ throat geometry. We show that although single brane has some of the moduli stabilized multi-brane system tends to expand and form a bound state. Such a system loses non-abelian gauge symmetry.
