Supertubes and Supercurves from M-Ribbons

We construct 1/4 BPS configurations, `M-ribbons', in M-theory on T^2, which give the supertubes and supercurves in type IIA theory upon dimensional reduction. These M-ribbons are generalized so as to be consistent with the SL(2,Z) modular transformation on T^2. In terms of the type IIB theory, the generalized M-ribbons are interpreted as an SL(2,Z) duality family of super D-helix. It is also shown that the BPS M-ribbons must be straight in one direction.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure, references added, footnote added, BPS eq. (36) is examined without using the solution of field equations, some expressions are improve

Phase Moduli Space of Supertubes

We study possible deformations of BPS supertubes keeping their conserved charges fixed. We show that there is no flat direction to closed supertubes of circular cross section with uniform electric and magnetic fields, and also to open planar supertubes. We also find that there are continuously infinite flat deformations to supertubes of general shape under certain conditions.Comment: 12 pages, reference adde

Supertubes connecting D4 branes

We find and explore a class of dyonic instanton solutions which can be identified as the supertubes connecting two D4 branes. They correspond to a single monopole string and a pair of monopole antimonopole strings from the worldvolume view point of D4 branes.Comment: 12 pages, no figures, a reference adde

Field Theory Supertubes

Starting with intersecting M2-branes in M-theory, the IIA supertube can be found by compactification with a boost to the speed of light in the compact dimension. A similar procedure applied to Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau instantons on \bC^3, viewed as intersecting membranes of 7D supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory, yields (for finite boost) a new set of 1/4 BPS equations for 6D SYM-Higgs theory, and (for infinite boost) a generalization of the dyonic instanton equations of 5D SYM-Higgs theory, solutions of which are interpreted as Yang-Mills supertubes and realized as configurations of IIB string theory.Comment: 11 pages.

Tubular Solutions of Dirac-Born-Infeld Action on Dp-Brane Background

We use the Dirac-Born-Infeld action on Dp-brane background to find the tubular bound state of a D2 with $m$ D0-branes and $n$ fundamental strings. The fundamental strings may be the circular strings along the cross section of tube or the straight strings along the axial of the tube, and tube solutions are parallel to the geometry of Dp-brane background. Through the detailed analyses we show that only on the D6-brane background could we find the stable tubular solutions. These tubular configurations are prevented form collapse by the gravitational field on the curved Dp-brane background.Comment: Latex 11 pages, detail RR-field effect, delete figure 4 and associated par

Decreta Regni Mediaevalis hungariae - The Laws of Medieval Hungary IV. és VI. kötet = Decreta Regni Mediaevalis hungariae - The Laws of Medieval Hungary Vols. IV. és VI.

Röviden: a DRMH IV kötetéhez (Jagellókori törvények) szükséges kutatást (latin szöveg, fordítás, jegyzetelés) befejeztük. A kézirat, bevezetö tanulmánnyal, névmutatókkal, stb. 2009 öszére elkészül és 2010 elején nyomdába mehet. A VI Kötet egy általános glosszárium és index lett volna. Eheleyett egy az I-V kötetre vonatkozó glosszárium a IV kötethez csatolva fog megjelenni. Hagyományos index (index rerum et verborum) elkészítésétöl eltekintetünk, mert munkában van egy a teljes ötkötetes sorozatot tartalmazandó digitális kiadás, amelyben majd minden szóra stb. keresni lehet. | In brief: research for vol. 4 of DRMH (decreta of the Jagiellonian age) has been completed as planned: Latin original edited, translation, annotations written. Final copy, including introductory study, indices etc. will be ready by Fall '09 and the volume will go to press in early 2010. Vol. 6 was planned to be a general glossary and indices. We decided to publish a general glossary for vols. 1-5 attached to vol. 4, while we forego the publication of a traditional index (of word, subjects etc.), considering that a digital edition of the five volumes is inpreparation. That will allow free browsing for any word or concept
