Michael Gutperle (DAMTP, University of Cambridge, UK)
TL;DR
This paper constructs boundary states for D-branes in the light-cone gauge, analyzes the breaking of supersymmetry, and discusses the nonlinear realization of broken symmetries and boundary effects on open strings.
Contribution
It introduces a method to construct D-brane boundary states in the light-cone gauge and examines the nonlinear realization of broken supersymmetry on open string modes.
Findings
Boundary states for D-branes are explicitly constructed in the light-cone gauge.
Half of the spacetime supersymmetry is broken, leading to fermionic zero modes.
The nonlinear realization of broken supersymmetry on open strings is analyzed.
Abstract
Boundary states for D-branes are constructed using the light cone gauge. The D-brane breaks half the spacetime supersymmetry giving rise to fermionic zero modes living on the brane. The nonlinear realization of the broken supersymmetry on the open string degrees of freedom is analysed and the influence of boundary terms coming from closed string vertex operators is discussed.
