11 From non-bps D-branes to D-antiD branes D1 D3 D5 D7 D9 Type IIA One non BPS- Dbrane D0 D2 D4 D6 D8 Type IIB 2 non BPS- Dbrane? The exact form of the action for multiple non-bps branes is not known. There are however two proposals. 11
12 S 1 = Tr S 2 = STr Effective Action of two non-bps D9-branes [Sen, Dirac-Born-Infeld action on the tachyon kink and vortex, hep-th/ ] d 10 σv (T )e Φ det(g µν + B µν + 2πα F µν + πα [D µ T D ν T + D ν T D µ T ])( F µν = µ A ν ν A µ i[a µ, A ν ] D µ T = µ T i[a µ, T ]. This action reproduces the one proposed by Sen and it has a vortex solution corresponding to a D(p-1)-brane which is left over after tachyon condensation. [Garousi, On the effective action of the D-anti-D-system, ] d 10 σv (T )e Φ det(g µν + B µν + 2πα F µν + 2πα D µ T D ν T ) Various couplings in this action are consistent with the disk level S- matrix elements in string theory. 12
13 The proposal for the effective action of D9-antiD9 system is to project the effective action of two non-bps D9-brane with A µ = ( 1) F l Since there is no off-diagonal terms for the gauge fields, the theory has gauge symmetry U(1) x U(1). ) ) ( A (1) µ 0 0 A (2) µ, T = ( 0 τ τ 0 For the action S1 before we obtain S 1 = d 10 σv ( τ )e Φ ( det A (1) + det A (2) ) A (n) µν = g µν + B µν + 2πα F (n) µν + πα (D µ τ(d ν τ) + D ν τ(d µ τ) ). [Sen] 13

17 The worldsheet action is where the bulk action is S bulk = 1 4π Boundary action S bndy = [Kraus, Larsen, Boundary string field theory of the DD-bar system, hep-th/ ] S = S bulk + S boundary d 2 z ( α [ ] dτ 2 Xµ Xµ + ψ µ ψµ + ψ µ ψ µ [ α 4 T I T I ηi η I + α 2 D µt I ψ µ η I + i 2 (Ẋµ A µ α F µν ψ µ ψ ν ) + i 4 (Ẋµ A IJ µ + 1 ] 2 α Fµν IJ ψ µ ψ ν )η I η J, A ± µ = 1 2 (A ] µ ± ia 12 ) µ ) T = 1 2 (T 1 + it 2 ).

18 For example, suppose that on the disk: T=const and A=0. BSFT gives the following potential: V (T, T ) = 2T D9 e 2πα T T open string vacuum closed string vacuum 18

20 V 0 (T ) = 2T 9 e T 2 [ 1 + 2α A 2 T 2] m 2 T = A 2 1 2α A cr = 1 2α Metastable minimum [Hashimoto, Dynamical decay of D-anti-D branes, hep-th/ ] We would like to study this system at finite temperature for different values of A. 20
21 III. Tachyon potential at finite temperature 21
22 Strings at finite temperature To consider finite temperature effects, we would like to study the behaviour of an effective potential where V 1 is the one-loop finite temperature piece. If we work in the canonical ensemble the one-loop part of the effective potential is given by the free energy F of open strings
23 Subtleties: BSFT at one loop! The free energy is computed from the one loop amplitude in which time has been compactified on a circle of radius inverse to the temperature. Add an additional boundary to the disk (weighted by e^{!sbndy} ) and then integrating over moduli. Since in BSFT conformal invariance is broken on the boundaries, we are left with an ambiguity in the choice of the Weyl factors of the two boundaries of this worldsheet. [Andreev and Ott, 01] [Craps, Kraus, Larsen 01] 23 23
24 [Andreev and Ott, 01] The proposed one-loop amplitude on the cylinder in the Minkowski spacetime in type II string theory is Z 1 = 16π4 iv p (2πα ) p ( ϑ3 (0 iτ) ϑ 1 (0 iτ) dτ p+1 τ (4πτ) 2 e 4π T 2 τ ( ) 4 ϑ2 (0 iτ) ϑ, 1 (0 iτ) ) 4 If we compactify the Euclidean time on a circumference with radius β F (T, β) = 16π4 V p (2πα ) p dτ p+1 τ (4πτ) 2 e 4π T 2 τ ( ) 4 ( ϑ3 (0 iτ) iβ (ϑ 2 ) ) ϑ (0 iτ) 8π 2 α τ ( ) 4 ( ϑ2 (0 iτ) iβ (ϑ 2 ϑ (0 iτ) 8π 2 α τ 24 ) 1) 24
25 The free energy of a system of Dp-branes can be computed given F (β) = + V p (2πα ) p+1 2 V p (2πα ) p dτ p+1 τ (4πτ) 2 dτ p+1 τ (4πτ) 2 The mass spectrum is given by p d MNS 2 = M 2 R = R I I=1 p d ( mi I=1 ( mi R I ) 2 + ) 2 + D i=p d+1 M NS 2 M R 2 r=1 r=1 ( ) ( D i=p d+1 ( ) ni R 2 i + 1 α ( ni R i α α ) α exp ( ( 1) r exp 2πα M NS 2 τ r2 β 2 ( ( N B + N NS + T 2 2 ( N B + N R + T 2 8πα τ ) 2πα M R 2 τ r2 β M 2 A + M 2 A ) 8πα τ ) ) ( where M 2 A = α A 2 ( T 4 4T ) 25 25

29 Conclusions We have investigated the behaviour of the finite temperature effective potential on the brane-antibrane pair in the case of zero and non-zero separation of the pair. In case of zero separation, the tachyonic open string vacuum at the origin of the tachyon field is stabilized at sufficiently high temperatures. In the case of large separation, there is a new deep minimum which is formed only at finite temperature. Moreover, the metastable open string vacuum at the origin is destabilized at sufficiently high temperature. 29
