SL(2, Z) Multiplets of Type II Superstrings in
It has been shown recently that the toroidally compactified type IIB string
effective action possesses an SL(2, R) invariance. Using this symmetry we
construct an infinite family of macroscopic string-like solutions permuted by
SL(2, Z) group for type II superstrings in . These solutions,
which formally look very similar to the corresponding solutions in ,
are characterized by two relatively prime integers corresponding to the
`electric' charges associated with the two antisymmetric tensor fields of the
strings. Stability of these solutions is discussed briefly in the light of
charge conservation and the tension gap equation.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX, no figures, some statements regarding solutions in

Holographic entanglement entropy and entanglement thermodynamics of `black' non-susy D3 brane
Like BPS D3 brane, the non-supersymmetric (non-susy) D3 brane of type IIB
string theory is also known to have a decoupling limit and leads to a
non-supersymmetric AdS/CFT correspondence. The throat geometry in this case
represents a QFT which is neither conformal nor supersymmetric. The `black'
version of the non-susy D3 brane in the decoupling limit describes a QFT at
finite temperature. Here we first compute the entanglement entropy for small
subsystem of such QFT from the decoupled geometry of `black' non-susy D3 brane
using holographic technique. Then we study the entanglement thermodynamics for
the weakly excited states of this QFT from the asymptotically AdS geometry of
the decoupled `black' non-susy D3 brane. We observe that for small subsystem
this background indeed satisfies a first law like relation with a universal
(entanglement) temperature inversely proportional to the size of the subsystem
and an (entanglement) pressure normal to the entangling surface. Finally we
show how the entanglement entropy makes a cross-over to the thermal entropy at
high temperature.Comment: 13 pages, 0 figures; v2: more clarifications added, version to appear
