Dynamics of D1-brane in I-brane Background

TL;DR

This paper analyzes the dynamics of a D1-brane in an intersecting fivebrane background in type IIB string theory, revealing an additional symmetry in the near horizon limit and providing explicit solutions for the brane's equations of motion.

Contribution

It demonstrates the invariance of the Dirac-Born-Infeld action under a new symmetry in the near horizon limit and connects this to the enhanced symmetry of the I-brane background.

Findings

Identifies an additional symmetry of the D1-brane action in the near horizon limit.

Provides explicit solutions to the D1-brane equations of motion.

Links the symmetry to the enhanced symmetry of the I-brane system.

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the study of the effective field theory description of the probe D1-brane in the background of the system of two stacks of fivebranes in type IIB theory that intersect on $R^{1,1}$. We study the properties of the Dirac-Born-Infeld action for D1-brane moving in this background. We will argue that this action is invariant under an additional symmetry in the near horizon limit and that this new symmetry is closely related to the enhanced symmetry of the I-brane background considered recently in [hep-th/0508025]. We also solve explicitly the equation of motion of D1-brane in the near horizon limit.
