Dynamical Gauged S-duality Spontaneous Breakdown

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new dual model for D-brane field theory based on quantized non-perturbative string S-dualities, exploring spontaneous symmetry breakdown and its implications for string and matrix models.

Contribution

It introduces a constructive definition of D-brane field theory via a dual model based on S-duality quantization and BRST conditions, with testable conjectures on partition functions.

Findings

Partition functions of IIB matrix model's bosonic part are realized by physical states.

String partition functions with gravity interactions are linked to Goldstone modes.

The model provides a framework for understanding spontaneous S-duality breakdown.

Abstract

Inspired by Yoneya's recent work on D-brane field theory, we present the constructive definition of this theory as a new dual model based on the quantization of non-perturbative string gauged S-dualities and its spontaneous breakdown. Our model is determined by one BRST quantization condition. Here, we provide some testable conjectures, for example, that the partition function of bosonic part of IIB matrix model and string partition functions of various interactions including gravity are realized by the physical state and its Goldstone modes.
