56 Appendix
57 Triangulated categories Definition. Let T be an additive category with an additive automorphism T : T T and a class of distinguished triangles of the form X u Y v Z w TX Then T is triangulated iff the following axioms hold: (TR1a) (TR1b) (TR1c) (TR2) X X X 0 TX is a distinguished triangle. ½ Any triangle isomorphic to a distinguished triangle is distinguished. Any X u Y can be completed to a distinguished triangle X u Y v Z w TX. Y v Z w T X is distinguished iff v Z w TX Tu T Y is distinguished. X u Y
58 Triangulated categories (TR3) (TR4) For any f,g in X f Y g Z h TX Tf X Y Z TX there is h : Z Z to complete the morphism of triangles. Any diagramme of type upper cap can be completed by a diagramme of type lower cap to an octahedron diagramme: X [1] [1] Y Z Z [1] X X [1] Y [1] Z [1] Z X
59 Octahedron diagramme The resulting octahedron can also be displayed in the following way: Y [1] X [1] Z [1] [1] Y Z X
60 Physical interpretation A distinguished triangle X Y Z TX can be interpreted as the branes X and Z may bind via the potentially tachyonic string Z TX to form Y, denoted as X,Z Y. X binds with no brane to produce X, i. e. X, 0 X. If there is a string X Y, then there is a brane Z such that X,Z Y. If X,Z Y, then TX,Y Z, so TX is the anti-brane of X. (TR2) and (TR4) together describe consistent decompositions of brane systems: Z TX,Y TX,Z,T 1 X Y,T 1 X.
